About Us

Sharnbrook Tackle was founded during the 1970s by owner David Watts while serving in the military, born from a simple idea — to help fellow service personnel discover and enjoy the sport of fishing during their downtime. What began as a way to share a love of angling with others quickly grew into something much bigger: a trusted fishing tackle business built on passion, knowledge, and a genuine understanding of what anglers need.

At Sharnbrook Tackle, fishing isn’t just what we sell — it’s what we’re passionate about. We’re dedicated to supplying anglers across the UK and beyond with high-quality fishing tackle, trusted equipment, and specialist gear for a wide range of fishing styles. Whether you're just getting started or have years of experience on the water, we aim to provide the products and support you need to fish with confidence.

We carefully source a broad selection of rods, reels, lures, terminal tackle, and accessories from respected brands and manufacturers. Our goal is simple: to offer reliable, performance-driven equipment that anglers can depend on. From sea fishing and coarse fishing to more specialist setups, we understand how important it is to have the right tackle for the job — and we’re here to help you find it.

What sets Sharnbrook Tackle apart is our genuine enthusiasm for angling and our commitment to customer service. We believe in offering more than just products; we want to be a trusted part of your fishing journey. Whether you're shopping for essential kit, upgrading your setup, or looking for expert advice, we’re proud to be a store anglers can rely on.
