John being an hour ahead I was on the site early doors and the reel was out of stock!

I never realised leafy Cheshire was in a different time zone to Whitstable.

It's not but Nice France is!:thumb::clock:

John there is a sale on at Decathlon here in France with some lures and other tackle reduced by 30%. It may be the same in the UK! I avoid most of their stuff but I bought a few lures for a few euros a piece. They had some chest waders which looked ok for 40€!

I've only ever shopped with them once Mike and they messed me about a bit, another company that advertise stuff out of stock. I do have some good buys from Pecheur though, not sure you'll get anything cheaper on their home soil given that they post me stuff from France for a £1.

Unlikely then John! I bought a few lures for 1€ and a small neat box to keep them all in plus line hooks and traces etc for 9€! If I can bring something back for you I will!

Just keep watching Fishing Republic, their share price is in almost free fall and has gone down from over £10 a few weeks ago when their first sale was on to about £7.65 now. A lot of their items are labelled out of stock, so keep an eye out for another clearance sale coming on.

 

[103841]

Shares across the board are taking a bashing at the moment, I'm not sure a 20% dip is purely down to the performance of FR.

They have an Easter Clearance on at the moment. This one item stood out, i don't know if it's any good but at the price it might be a good introduction for someone:
THESEUS MATCH SEAT BOX - TMSB

Not much of a sale on some items

Team Daiwa Commercial Feeder 9.6ft - PS114.99

TEAM DAIWA COMMERCIAL FEEDER ROD | Fishing Republic

Team Daiwa Commercial - Feeder Rods | Angling Direct

 

[Redeemed]

Shares across the board are taking a bashing at the moment, I'm not sure a 20% dip is purely down to the performance of FR.

Interestingly their shares are currently listed as a good buy, probably because they have fallen from £40 to £7.70 in 6 months. There are also concerns as to the level of stock available, as in they don't have a deal and stock turns are often on a yearly basis when new products come out, and the investment in bricks and mortar when the trend has been to move from bricks to clicks.
Time will tell, get ready for some bargains i reckon.

I ordered 5 bags of pellets in response to an email advertising the Fishing Republic Easter Sale on March 30th and have just been advised that my order has been cancelled and my money refunded. Why show stuff as "in stock" at the point of ordering when it clearly isn't? The only other time I ordered online from them, I received some boilies that were over a year out of date and again had to be refunded. I won't be bothering with them in future.

I joined the rush for the recently very reduced holdalls. They sent a different one to the one advertised, which I didn't like much. But when I asked about it, they made a refund without a quibble. It seems a bit chaotic, but I can say I've bought from places that are much less obliging if anything goes wrong.

 

[markcw]

I phoned the Manchester FR store when the sale was on and asked what on line items were also available
instore, They were very helpful and also did a quick check to see if a couple of on line items were still in stock,

 

[103841]

The clearance is back online and it looks at first glance that they've upped their game showing stock in or out of stock, only time will tell if it's accurate.

Meanwhile if you're a size 12
Neoprene Lined Wellies
