Use tide tables and current catch reports to plan more carefully.
Replace forgotten kit or build a setup
A missing weight, damaged rig or forgotten packet of hooks can disrupt a fishing trip before it starts. Our shop carries practical sea-fishing tackle for planned purchases and last-minute replacements, including hand-tied cod, bass and flatfish rigs, mackerel feathers, weights, hooks and swivels. We also stock brand-new 13 ft rods with reels at £70 per set, with two-part and telescopic rod options. The right equipment depends on your target species, casting needs and preferred setup, so you can discuss those points with us rather than choosing at random in Dungeness.
Plan with current catches and tides in mind
Tackle works best when it suits the session. A rig intended for flatfish differs from one selected for cod or bass, while rod style can affect storage, transport and setup. Tell us where and how you expect to fish, and we'll help you compare the relevant essentials in stock. In-shop tide-table copies and reports on fish currently being caught around Dungeness provide useful context before you head out. You can also collect bait during the same visit, reducing the number of stops needed before reaching your chosen fishing mark.
Frequently asked questions
What comes with the £70 rod set?
The current set includes a brand-new 13 ft rod with a reel. Two-part and telescopic rod options are available, subject to stock. Call or visit to confirm which style is on hand before your trip.
Which hand-tied rig should we choose?
That depends on whether you're targeting cod, bass or flatfish, along with the conditions and your preferred setup. Tell us about the session, and we can point you towards the relevant rigs and terminal tackle.
Can we buy bait and tackle in one visit?
Yes. We stock sea-fishing tackle alongside fresh and frozen bait. You can also look at tide tables and current catch reports, making it easier to cover several practical preparations during one shop visit.
