The last decent sized tackle shop within 20 miles of Luton closing, which is quite a shock as now to view newish products you are talking about a day out jobby...

A little further afield Johnson Ross in Hoddesdon is excellent. I was quite impressed with North Herts Angling Baldock when I called in a few weeks ago they have increased the rangeThere ate two TS in the Luton area, both generally minimalistic with very little top quality tackle, for me I can't fish with one manufacturers gear, I want a bit of all of it, ie some Guru, Preston, Matrix and Drennan, that's for terminal tackle, Brown's was about 14 miles away from me, Bedford has two fairly comprehensive shops, 20 plus miles, Hitchin and Stevenage basically similar to Luton, Welwyn has good shop, Oakwood Tackle I believe, that is around 20 miles, Angling Direct at MK is good but again 20 miles plus, I don't know of any others, we used to have four in Luton at one time and there are a fair few anglers in the area, I believe I have more different patterns of hook in my chest of drawers than the two local shops put together, and mine are good patterns, lol...
Va bene Kev. Do a vid for Christmas. Would you like my Drennan flake punch set if you cannot get one?
