Strange pricing though! A #3 or #5 is £62.99 and a #4 is £25.20. Naturally, I was looking for a #3......

Thanks for that....think I have just taken the last one!  Would have been rude not to at that price!

It is well worth having a look through all the sale items. Lots of useful fly fishing gear.

Wish I hadn't bothered placing an order.  I got an email 3 days later from a guy called Phil who said that the line was out of stock and offered me an alternative which wasn't acceptable.  I asked if he could do another Rio line at the same or similar price via email and despite re-sending the same email, I've yet to hear back.  I called the shop three times yesterday and twice today only to be told on each occasion that he would return my call....hasn't happened yet!

Glad I have paid via payola-just opened a dispute with them.  Bet he gets in touch pronto now  :roll:

Perhaps a bit of sharp practice going on there David.

Aye sounds like it Fred.  I can't be doing with chasing tackle retailers over a 25 quid line!

The shop is popular and the guys running it popular. But I suspect they are currently snowed under due to the number of orders their sale generated. Still no excuse for fooking you about!
