Got old, used or unwanted fishing tackle sitting in the shed, garage or loft? We buy fishing tackle and are always interested in hearing about good quality used, vintage and collectable items.
You do not need a huge collection. We are happy to look at anything from a single reel or rod through to boxes of tackle, old stock or a complete collection.
What fishing tackle do we buy?
We are interested in a wide range of fishing tackle, including:
- Fishing rods and reels
- Vintage and collectable fishing tackle
- Old Mitchell, Daiwa, Abu, Penn and other well-known tackle
- Sea, coarse, carp and fly fishing tackle
- Lures, floats, hooks, rigs and terminal tackle
- Tackle boxes, luggage and accessories
- Fishing books, catalogues, manuals and advertising material
- New old stock and unopened vintage tackle
- Complete collections and mixed tackle lots
Unusual older tackle is particularly interesting to us, especially items in original packaging or with a good bit of fishing history behind them.
How to sell your tackle to us
The easiest way is to send us a few clear photographs along with a short description. You do not need to identify every item perfectly — if you are unsure what something is, send the pictures and we can take a look.
It helps if you include:
- Clear photos of the tackle
- Brand and model names where visible
- A rough idea of condition
- Your location
- How many items you have
For larger collections, a few group photos are fine to start with. There is no need to photograph every small item individually before contacting us.
Vintage tackle and collections welcome
Old fishing tackle is often difficult to value from memory alone. Some items are common, while others can be surprisingly collectable. Original boxes, paperwork, unusual models and new old stock can all make a difference.
If you have inherited fishing tackle or simply have equipment you no longer use, send us some photos before throwing anything away. We are happy to look at older items as well as modern usable tackle.
Why sell to Used Fishing Tackle?
We deal specifically in fishing tackle, so we understand the difference between ordinary second-hand equipment and something that may have genuine collector interest. Our stock ranges from practical used tackle to vintage reels, old accessories, books and unusual pieces from Britain's angling past.
Want to know if we are interested? Send us the details and a few photos and we will take a look.
