An established fishing tackle shop in a fantastic location which offers an extensive range of fishing equipment from starting up to the latest carbon-fibre rods for disciplines ranging from Carp, Match, Game Beach and Boat fishing.

The shop is ideally situated in Taunton with easy parking and access from the M5 motorway. Located on Station Way, which enjoys a very high pedestrian and vehicular passing traffic, the cities of both Bristol and Exeter are only 30 miles equal distance away. With easy access to many fishing waters and the coast, there is also excellent public transport and a mainline railway station to London Paddington available.

BUSINESS

The business is easily owner operated without the need for staff and because of its wonderful range of fishing related items and excellent customer service, our client has enjoyed a fine reputation.
