boyes is cheap for feathers and hooks and swivels ...are ok stuff from fladen...not the best but cracking if u just startin out on a tight budget...got my first 13 footer from boyes i loved it to bits pulled me many a fish in, a floppy stick in comparison to what i use now but i still use it . i still make it a point to stop in boyes when i pass one .

£1 for a breakaway 60p our way

Ok chill, £1 for gripper isn't cheap then compare to where yous get your gear from but other items in there are.

ive never found a gripper cheaper than a £1. Tackle shops are way more expensive.

Been thinking about starting to make my own for that reason.

Ive found Boyes to be good. just got my brother a 12ft beach rod with fladen reel and line for £22. Ill stick some shock leader on and a snap swivel and hes ready to start. Probably join the chavs on the pier..

If you can list these cheaper shops that would help....:yltype:

Redcar angling have been selling all the feathers cheaper than Boyes...

my opionion is if you buy cheap gear you end up buying twice as they dont last 2 mins so why not just add the little extra and support your local tackle shop
