Children In Need @ Leigh Tackle

2011-11-22T06:06:00.000-08:00

Our newest member of staff Gavin Vernon decided it would be a great idea for him to dress up as a women for the day to raise money for Children In Need, Now those that know Gavin will know this was going to be a scary event, and it was! look at the picture below!!

He only decided on the Wednesday that he would dress up as women for the full day on Friday, so only giving himself two days to raise money. You have to give it to him because he rasied just shy of £300 for Children In Need 2011.

New Fox Flatliner Bedchair - In Stock!

2011-10-24T06:00:00.000-07:00

Last week we took delivery of six new fox flatliner beds and what great beds they are! We got one out of it's packaging for a customer who had pre-ordered one from us and managed to get a closer look, the idea is genius!

The frame and build looks to be the most solid I have seen on any bed. Everything from the feet to the mattress seems to be quality and needs to be seen. Needless to say the customer walked out with a smile on his face as he was one of the first to get his hands on this next generation bed from Fox.

Tackle & Guns 2011

2011-10-17T05:58:00.000-07:00

Well another year has gone by and this weekend we had a trip down to this year’s Tackle & Guns trade show, where we got to see all the tackle that 2012 will have to offer (Tackle & Guns is the largest trade show in the UK and is for trade customers only), the turnout was good! the major company that we was excited to see was Fox with their new match brand Matrix, which has been developed by Ricky Teal, The products looked good and I'm sure they will only get better as Ricky settles in his new role as product developer at Matrix. The carp products that Fox are going to be launching over the next few months are also worth a mention. I was blown away with their new black chunky (but light) buzz bars and bank sticks, the new 12000 XT big pit reel was getting a lot of attention from the crowds! We really do think Fox is moving forward with the products they had on show this year.

We also got to see new poles from Sensas which looked and felt the part and will definitely be finding their way on to our shelves. There were also new quick change feeder systems which looked great from MAP along with a handy new case that will hold your MAP meat cutter plus its extra blades. There were also some new luggage additions from Nash Tackle along with that big double indulgence bed which you may have heard about. There you have it just a small handful of the products that will be available in the next few months, we really think some of these new products will do well and that you will agree with us when you get your hands on them.
