“Tackle Fanatics is an exciting new website launching in April 2010 which will offer the UK’s biggest range of quality used tackle!”
That’s a bold statement when you consider the success of eBay but it’s exactly what the company behind TackleFanactics.co.uk have set their sights on. We came across Tackle Fanatics at The Big One tackle show in Farnborough and I must say, from a presentation perspective, Craig and Matthew (the gentlemen behind the new venture) they have it spot on, with a fresh and vibrant looking brand.
The process of selling your unwanted fishing tackle is a little different to what you may have come to expect from eBay and classifieds, etc. First step, you contact Tackle Fanatics by phone or email detailing the tackle items you would like to sell. Tackle Fanatics then give you a quote for your items and should you accept, arrange for collection of the items the next day. Within 72 hours of receiving the tackle they will send you a cheque. Simple!
The site itself doesn’t launch until April so currently the only ways to purchase tackle are over the phone or by visiting their shop (details below).
Tackle Fanatics are currently looking for fishing tackle from premium tackle manufacturers including; Shimano, Daiwa, Century, Viper, Free Spirit, Fox, Delkim, ESP and more. If you have items to sell and would like a quote call Tackle Fanatics on 0208 949 3307 or email quote@tacklefanatics.co.uk – please mention Fishing-Tackle.co.uk
If you would like to visit the Tackle Fanatics shop to buy or sell fishing tackle the address is as follows:
