FISHERMANS EMPORIUM

Post by Gudgeon Jim »

Met the owner John early last week as he had a few cased fish from me .A nice chap he is too.
He s just opened his gallery and launched his web site and is certainly well worth a look if your passion is angling.
Theres certainly some desirable objects in there

How do you get to see what books are for sale and the rods and collectables. :think:

Oh, ...it wasn't just me, then?


I thought there must be a catalogue in there somewhere, but apparently not.


It does look a great place to spend a rainy afternooon, I must say.

Hi gentlemen!

Has anyone ever bought a rod there (so from John Farey) and can recommend him?

Old Tackle

John tends to collect and sell quality gear and is a top bloke so deal with him with confidence.

John was excellent to deal with although in the end I didn't go ahead with the purchase. The only thing I'd add is ask for photographs – he'll happily send them.
