Phone Us!

Well after a couple of months of wrangling with the phone company who wouldnt give us our number back when we changed phone companies, we now have a re-instated phone line so you can call the shop again on 01884-839273.
At the moment we are negotiating with several new tackle suppliers to get some new and very interesting stock on the shelves ready for when we re-open fully at the end of February so watch this space!
In the meantime I hope you are all managing to get some time out fishing in between the floods and the ice! Everywhere was starting to pick up again after the freeze and then we got this latest cold snap. Well at least the pike are being obliging on the canal and there have been some decent Chub coming out from the free stretch of the river Culm.

Quick amendment to that post, I went to go pike fishing on the canal today and the spot I had my eye on was completely frozen over again!

The Big Fish Fight

I doubt there is an angler in the land with a TV or computer who is not aware of the Big Fish Fight campaign championed by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstal. Check out the signatures during the last week which have climbed rapidly to almost half a million and if you haven’t done so, please add your name! If we continue to allow the senseless practice of discarding thousands of tons of perfectly viable fish back into the sea dead, then how long until our fish stocks are so depleted that we as pleasure anglers can no longer enjoy our sport. Even if you have never gone sea-fishing you owe it to your children and grandchildren to get involved now before it is too late.

Sea Baits and Sea Fishing tackle

As well as our frozen pike baits we also keep a wide selection of sea baits in stock, Normally from the freezer we have got available, sandeels in various sizes, squid, razorfish, mackerel whole and fillets, mussels, black lug and peeler crab as available. We also keep oiled black lug and we can order in live ragworm, lugworm and peelers.
We also keep a stock of sea-fishing rods and reels and end-tackle eg: leads, gripper leads, hooks, beads, feathers, lures, booms, swivels, snap swivels, shock leader, sea line and ready made rigs.

Pike and Predators at Cullompton carp and coarse

As well as the carp tackle and baits we also stock a fairly comprehensive range of frozen pike baits. I myself am a pike angler so I like to have a choice of baits in stock. We normally have available from the freezer: Bream, Herring, Mackerel, Roach, Rainbow Trout, Sardines, Smelts, Sprats, Lamprey sections and Eel sections. Along with the deadbaits we also stock a range of end-tackle including ready made snap tackles, live and deadbait floats, sinkers, trace wire, trebles, crimps, swingers and drop-arm indicators and of course the all important unhooking equipment.
As well as everything you need for bait fishing for old Esox we also stock a good range of lure fishing tackle, Rods and reels by the likes of ABU, Mitchell, Awa-Shima and Ron Thompson. Lures and spinners by Rapala, Storm, Blue Fox, ABU Garcia, Kopyto, Awa-Shima and N-Gage. We also stock ultralight lures and tackle.
So if you are going in search of a new personal best pike, come and see us first!

Introduction

For those of you that don't know we are an independent fishing tackle shop that has been trading in Cullompton high street for the last 3 years. When we first opened we used to mostly specialise in Carp Baits. However over the last 3 years we have expanded into tackle for carp fishing and other branches of angling. We now stock not only a wide range of carp baits including our very own highly successful range of boilies, we also stock a full range of carp tackle from some of the leading names like JRC, Korda, Gardner, Nash and more. We keep the full range of Korda rig bits and end tackle in stock at all times. We also stock all sorts of tackle for the Coarse, Sea and Predator angler wether you are an out and out match angler, a specimen hunter or just simply a pleasure angler we aim to have everything that you need. Couple this with friendly helpful staff that know and fish the local waters and I am sure you will agree that we are well worth a visit.

Hello and Welcome

Hello and welcome to the Cully Carp and Coarse Blog. I will try to update the blog at least once a week with our latest stock, special offers etc. At the moment we are only open "winter hours" which are Monday 9.00 til 13.00, Friday 09.00 til 16.30, Saturday 09.00 til 16.00. We will probably stick to these hours until March when we will resume our normal 7 day a week opening.

If you want to keep in touch with our hours you can always check here or on our tackle shop website which can be found at http://www.cullomptoncarpandcoarse.com

We are hoping to become a FOX fishing tackle stockist in time for March so watch this space! Those of you who know FOX tackle will know that they produce Quality fishing tackle for Carp, match and predator anglers so we are pleased to be stocking their tackle.
