Argos, the catalogue angling retailer

Argos is now firmly established as a fishing tackle supplier and includes a comprehensive range of fishing tackle from well known angling brands like Keenets, Leeda, Zebco, Sundridge, Shimano and Giant.

The company was founded in 1973 and is a unique catalogue retailer recognised for choice, value and convenience. It sells general merchandise and products for the home from over 670 stores throughout the UK and Republic of Ireland, online and over the telephone. In the last financial year, Argos sales topped £ 3.8 billion.

Argos serves over 130 million customers a year through its stores and takes four million customer orders either online or over the phone. On average, 17 million UK households, or around two thirds of the population, have an Argos catalogue at home at any time. Argos expects to add around 30 stores per annum with the chain expected to exceed 800 over time. Its internet site is the second most visited internet retail site in the UK. Argos is Retail Week’s 2006 Online Retailer of the Year and winner of the Customer Service Initiative Award.

Like all of Argos’s products the fishing tackle they sell is quality combined with value for money and in this respect the tackle is especially suitable for those who are budget conscious or are just dipping their toe into the angling world and do not want to spend too much before they become keen and regular anglers.

The Argos angling product range will also be of great interest to mums and dads, aunts and uncles, and other relatives who just don’t know what to buy a loved one for Christmas. They can browse through the catalogue or go on line and order stuff at the click of a mouse button and have it delivered right to your door for just £ 4.95.

Just take a look at the range they now offer:

Keenets Carp Outfit

Terrific value with this complete carp outfit. Just look at what you get for a £ 250.00! it’s obviously not top of the range designer gear, but every one of these items will do the job it’s meant for, and do it well. You couldn’t buy two middle of the range designer carp rods for this price, and the kit even includes two packs of excellent boilies. This is a carp outfit that lacks nothing, and if Argos could also give you the skill to catch carp then I’m sure they would!
