Welcome to the NEW Bates' fishing Website!
Due to popular we have expanded, and now have a new tackle shop with over 10 times more space than the old shop!
Our new bigger showroom has enabled us to stock even more quality fishing tackle, which combined with our brand new website that has been professionally designed to meet your needs as an angler, means we can bring you all the latest tackle innovations from firm favourites such as Fox, Preston Innovations and Hardy & Greys!
We have something for everyone, from the serious Match anglers and specimen Carp anglers to the beginner pleasure anglers and Fly fishermen; we even have a wide range of fly tying materials and tools in stock!
So what does this mean to you, the angler?
Well, it means that we are now much bigger and more accessible to you with both the shop on Stafford high street (open 9am-5pm Mon to Sat), and also our online shop accessible on the left hand side or at the top of this page!
If you have any questions or even any requests or would like us to order anything especially for you, then please don't hesitate to call Marcus, our tackle shop manager on 01785 244 191.
