Within a short drive of my place that's now Tackle HQ, Shorecatch and Tackleworld all gone since the new rules were brought in. Pretty sure that only leaves Castaway Tackle as the only local store left near me.

Last time I was in the shop things didn't seem the same. Haven't heard from mick on the forum lately either. Hope all is well outside of business. Sad times when small local businesses struggle while big chain stores have us by the nuts and are twisting
