Due to the current decline in high street industry tackle shops are being affected? I would agree with this statement however would also beg to differ! In my opinion the sales in high street shops have reduced yet online sales from internet tackle shops has increased? Why would this be? Fact: carp anglers are lokking at products in high street shops but not purchasing, they find what they want and then Google the product they are looking for to find the best price. therefore it stands to reason that the carp fishing tackle shops that are going to survive the current recession are those that sell at low prices within the high street shop and also sell direct via the internet....bottom line...a carp fishing tackle shop should have a high street and also an online presence.
