CoGoGo welcomes to the market, Sharnbrook Tackle.

Sharnbrook Tackle was founded by the current owner in 1998 when he identified a gap in the market. The business has been a real labour of love for him accruing an impressive number of regular customers, lucrative business contacts and a fantastic reputation.

The business is now being sold, albeit reluctantly and with a heavy heart only due to a wish to take a well-earned retirement. The vendor is keen to see his beloved tackle company pass to an ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner(s) who can take this already thriving business to the next level.

Sharnbrook Tackle prides itself on being the “Thinking Anglers Tackle Store” and it’s customers would certainly agree.

The business sells an amazing range of products including;

The business is proud to one of the main importers of Alvey fishing products. Alvey is an Australian manufacturer of fishing tackle , primarily known for its fishing reels and rods. Sharnbrook Tackle distributes these products to other likeminded businesses in the UK.

The business buys from Australia, South Africa, France, USA, Spain and Italy and these contacts will be passed to a new owner.

Sharnbrook Tackle is happy to offer a 15% discount on all goods to serving members and retires from HM Armed Forces.
