Tidal Tackle is the largest tackle shop in Torquay, situated right on the harbour at 23 Victoria Parade. It offers a wide range of tackle and its owner, Simon Key, works hard to buy in stock at discount prices, making it highly competitive. There is a limited amount of road parking just outside the store and a car park just around the corner. This gives pretty good access although wheelchair users should be aware that there is a short section of fairly steep slope from the car park to the harbour. However, inside the store there is plenty to choose from and enough room for wheelchair users to manouvre. The staff, who are both friendly and competent, are also on hand to help with any problems.

The shop boasts a wide range of rods to cater for all budgets, including Penn, Daiwa, Shakespeare, Masterline and many others.

Boat anglers wishing to renew bait or purchase supplies can land at steps only a few yards away from the store, which is very useful, especially since there is such a lot of terminal tackle and rigs to choose from. In addition Tidal Tackle stocks fresh bait, including, on occasion, live prawns, and also has a substantial supply of frozen bait on hand to cope with most angling opportunities. Anglers wishing to purchase stock by mail order can do so by either contacting the store direct - the address is 23 Victoria Parade, Torquay - by telephone on 01803 292080 or through the shop's website.

There is also a well stocked carp section, particularly since much of this range is transferable to the light tackle scene that is flourishing in Torbay. (For anglers wishing to explore this side of the bay Tidal Tackle can offer both advice and all the bits and pieces that you are likely to need.)
