| There were plenty of goodies on the inside at Revels |
On entering you can
immediately tell that there is a lot going on in this shop> The shelves are
piled high with fishing goodies, and I started looking along the walls for
tackle box bits which I was sure I would convince myself I needed. As you
enter, the wall on the left is packed full of ground baits, pellets and other
baits in all different shapes, sizes and brands. The groundbait ranges from
species specific to catch all match types (e.g. Expo and Lake 3000 etc). The
right hand shelving opposite held more pellets and tackle box accessories (side
trays etc), with branded luggage towards the back wall. The back wall itself
had a mixture of landing net handles, rod tubes, top kit tubes and rod bags and
walking down the opposite aisle there was more of the same. Maver and Middy
carryall and holdall on the left, landing nets hanging from the ceiling, with
various fishing box accessories on your right. These accessories included
umbrella arms, more side trays, multifit bars (compatible with all major brands
of fishing boxes and chairs) and foot plates.
On the right and heading
towards the counter there was a large amount of Frenzee equipment, ranging from
hooklength boxes, cupping kits (which I bought) and pellet bands. There were
also baseball hats, foldable groundbait bowls and maggots boxes. On the left
there were various types of weighing scales, with slings and mats below them.
The counter itself was covered with info leaflets, weighing scales, pots of
worms and measuring pots. You can definitely buy bait on this premises...
Hanging off the front of
the counter there is the entire range of Maver flat and pear shaped leads with
other assorted bits. You could literally spend ages in this shop finding things
you never knew you needed. Heading left, looking at the wall opposite the door
there is a wall full of match bits. Floats, elastics, shots, stotz, hooks,
connectors, rig line, winders, silicone tubing, plummets, feeders, adapters -
Everything! The pity was there is so much that there is another counter with
shelves in front of you, so you can’t get close enough to have a proper look!
Still, I ended up buying Dacron connectors and a replacement elastic as my 8
had seen better days. The reels were displayed behind glass fronted cabinets
underneath the counters.
Heading up the aisle on the left, there was a mixed assortment of sea fishing equipment and pike gear. Containing things from, feathers and red gills, to wire traces and lead weights. Along the right hand side there were rods. I didn't have a good look through these, as I was busy working out if there was anything else that I needed, but I could see match rods, quiver tips, universal pole top kits and carp rods. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some beachcasters in the mix too. Leading up to the back wall there were bait tables, trolleys and various folding seats. The back wall held the clothing and waterproofs.
I could have spent a long
time going up and down these 3 aisles and think I would have had I not needed
to get out and go fishing. I spoke to the chap behind the counter and he was
very informative and was full of advice on where to fish on the complex. With 8
lakes to choose from I was grateful to receive any advice I could get. I would
definitely recommend the tackle shop at Revels as they seem to have everything
you can think of (and even stuff you wouldn't). Whatever your type of fishing,
you're bound to find a bargain.
As a rating I would say - ****
