About Us
Now trading as Going Fishing Tackle
formally
The Matchmen Angling Centre
established 1978
The Matchmen first opened its doors over 40 years ago. It was a family run business back then and continues to be so today. We have met lots of fantastic customers over the years and have become part of our fishing family today.
We have seen lots of transformations within fishing, most noticeably the 150 gallons of maggots a week we used to sell in the 70s and 80s, to the almost demise of it today , a humble 5 to10 gals a week at present . Fishing has changed, anglers have changed.
In 2002 we took the shop to the next level with the introduction of online shopping, now selling on our own website and other platforms.
Our constant awareness of the market has kept us on our toes over time and we always try to put the customers needs first.
Going Fishing Tackle is run by experienced Anglers so if you need any advice on tackle and bait please do not hesitate to ask.
