Situated at 6/7 Victoria Square, Paignton, Torbay Tackle Centre is a huge shop that you can browse in complete and utter comfort. For those of you used to squeezing into the tight little spaces on offer in most tackle shops, the airy roominess of this nonetheless well-stocked newcomer to Paignton is bound to come as a welcome and very pleasant surprise. Add in the friendly, very helpful manner of the staff and I am sure that you will enjoy your visit. I know I did!

Step through the door and the advantages of a big shop become immediately apparent, with several bivvies and beach shelters erected for easy viewing but with even their dimensions making little impact upon the space available. Which is just as well, really, since Manager Matt has heaps of goodies on display, including Masterline Walker, JRC, Nash, Korda, ESP, Delkin, Zziplex, Shakespeare, Abu Garcia, Berkley, Awa-Shima, Shakespeare, Penn, Mitchell - sorry, had to pause for breath for a moment there - Tazer, Stren, Red Gill, Spiderwire, Storm and still more brands besides, in fact something to suit just about everybody, no matter what their tastes or fishing inclination! Whether you are a dedicated carp, game or sea angler or, like me, a dabbler in all of the above, Torbay Tackle Centre is well worth a visit. And pretty easy too, especially with a huge multi-storey car park within easy casting, sorry parking, range!
