Who is the cheapest online for terminal tackle. It don't take long to spend 30 or 40 quid inline. Sure there was a site some years ago that where cheap but tended to do bulk bags of stuff. I favour veals as they give a great service ut wondering if there is a cheap place
 
As mentioned in Ever Optomistic's " praise where deserved" thread, Kevin at Wicked Rigs is good for hooks, beads, and quite a few good bits.

I also use Trident tackle for some bits - their prices are excellent.

Beware cheap tat though! Beads and sequins etc I bought in bulk from my local sewing shop - more than enough for a lifetime and far cheaper than any tackle shop. Hooks, line and swivels etc I only buy top quality brands and usually from Breakaway - call them and negotiate a bulk deal;)

Norman at Breakaway Tackle is great too. I was in our local branch of The Range recently, and picked up a couple of packs of sequins for flatty rigs!

They used to do quite a bit of tackle, gear & reels suitable for light sea use too, but I went to our local one a few years ago, (3 stores here, it's where the Range started!) and no tackle, so an assistant told me to go to their bigger store, but I rang them and was told they had stopped doing tackle completely. Most of the gear on their website was marked out of stock too.

More recently, they have opened a massive new 2 storey store & HQ here, and they've got quite a 'range' (!) of tackle, but as you said, most of it is aimed at Coarse fishing. I did pick up some artificial Ragwurmz (!) that someone had recommended!

Nearly forgot, I took a photo when I was there!

All the locals moan about Chris Dawson (owner of the Range) being so rich but it's only jealousy. He started off as a small market trader and is worth billions now. I did quite a bit of work on one of his cars some years ago, and he always speaks to me. I find him a nice guy and admire what he has achieved. Sorry for rambling off the thread! ??

Does a lot of Koike stuff at decent prices - Think he just started selling 25 packs of Sakuma hooks aswell.

Well I've found it quite good, especially the hangover clip & SRT Spring setup. You can easily have a 6ft snood on a 3 ft rig and sit a bait right on the bottom. I saw a lot of good reports so bought a pack of most of their gear. They have recently updated and changed a few bits, but I've still got enough to be going on with before buying any more!

Thanks for that.Will have a ganders and see what I fancy.(y)
 
It might pay you to buy some bits from different shops etc, then you can see what it's like mate and then choose who to buy off ,for bigger orders
 
I used to get stuff from Fishtec, but that's gone now.

Got a great deal on a Penn bass rod some years ago, i think it was near Glasgow, but not Glasgow Angling.

Bought a pair of 31/2lb T/C Penn Pike rods from Glasgow Angling many moons ago,infact bought 4,2 were for my mate.They are a class piece of kit,still going strong.Purchased for a pittance at the time and free postage.Think that's why we bought 4.

Totally agree, that's what I did years ago.
I must admit I tried loads of gimmicky bits over the years and have stuck to a selection of a couple of different clips and a couple of different swivels that I liked and now just buy them in 100 packs, they last a fair while. Same with hooks, find what you like and use regular and buy the bigger boxes of 30/50 instead of packs of 10.
My rig box now contains 3 sizes of power swivels, the Gemini/tronix lead clips and bait clips, and some breakaway imps aswell as a selection of beads.
