Specialist Fishing Tackle

Welcome to the specialist fishing section of our website, dedicated to specialist and specimen anglers. Here you can find all of Angling Direct’s offerings to aid the pursuit of barbel, tench, and bream. We have a comprehensive stock list that covers all aspects of specialist angling, from specialist rods and reels to a full range of terminal tackle and tools.

Angling Direct stocks all of the biggest specialist fishing tackle suppliers, including Korum, Gardner, Shimano, Drennan, Chub, and Guru among many others, as well as our own brand Advanta range. We are also the leading stockist of Daiwa tackle in the country, so we can offer exclusive deals on all the best Daiwa specialist tackle. This includes Daiwa Barbel Rods, Specialist Rods, Feeder Rods, and Floater Rods.

We have a huge selection of rods that spans well beyond the Daiwa offerings mentioned. Our rod range encompasses offerings from Shimano, Shakespeare, and Rovex, and many more. For those that love barbel fishing, we also stock a range of barbel fishing rods such as the recent update of the Korum Barbel Rods.

Angling Direct stocks an incredible range of bait, additives, and bait equipment. This allows you to customise any of the great products from our suppliers – including Dynamite, Enterprise, Sensas, Bait-Tech, and Mainline – to create your dream bait. We also stock a selection of bait boats for the more technological angler.

Advanta at Angling Direct has an excellent value for money specialist fishing bundle that is especially geared towards roach, bream, chub, and barbel fishing.

We also stock some of the best specialist brands out there, including Drennan, Korum, and Dynamite Baits. We have a constructed a tench pack as a collation of some of the great tench tackle out there and it is an excellent example of the top tackle and bait on the market for specialist anglers.

Angling Direct stocks a complete range of chairs, bedchairs, bivvies, and shelters to keep you comfortable in your time on the bank. With products from Trakker, Nash, and Prestige, as well as many others, you are guaranteed to find something that suits your needs.

We also sell a selection of fish finders so you never have to spend hours wandering a swim before you can pick up a rod and start fishing. Even though some of you may prefer the traditional method, these fish finders are becoming increasingly popular to use in otherwise challenging conditions – especially the ones that synchronise with your smartphone. This is another great product for the technological angler.

Specialist anglers of all ages and abilities can find something they’ll love in our specialist fishing tackle range.
