The biggest show in Used Tackle’s 2010 Tour takes place at the Newark Showground this weekend with over £1 million worth of rods, poles, baits and accessories sold off at bargain prices.
Staged inside the massive George Stephenson Exhibition Hall at the Notts complex, there are over 10,000 anglers expected to attend over the two days – and no one will go home without a money-saving deal on new gear.
Used Tackle’s Newark show is the biggest of the year and that means there will be loads of gear on sale, with everything from £10 rods and reels to big brand name carp kit at massively reduced prices. There will also be some serious one-off deals on limited products at the show. Organiser Roger Surgay plans to clear some big brand stock from his tackle shops, including poles, baits, and carp gear.
“I’m going to pile it high and sell it cheap,” admitted Roger. “With the season now underway we’ll be taking loads of tackle and accessories that anglers need for the season ahead.
“Pole Alley will be the biggest it has ever been, and there will be a massive carp area, plus the most bait we have ever taken to a show.”
Over 100m long and 24m wide, the exhibition hall will be packed to the rafters with the best deals.
Biggest-ever Pole Alley: For the first time at Newark, Pole Alley will double in size to show off the whole range of Avanti’s poles, plus MAP’s TKS range being sold at the UK’s guaranteed lowest prices.
This will be your chance to try out the impressive, £200 Avanti Hyperactive 16m – and save £800 on the full RRP – and the Hyperactive Margin pole for £30.
You’ll also be able to get your hands on the Avanti Stand & Deliver 14.5m with eight top kits for just £300, and pick up an 11m pole for just £30!
Match accessories: From seatboxes with back rests for £40 to front bump bars, universal side trays, and elastication packs, the match accessory section will be huge at Newark this weekend.
Every accessory you’ll need for the season – hooks, line, shot, feeders, floats – will be at silly prices, plus you’ll be able to get a £60 commercial carp net for just £10, while stocks last!
Carp clearout: Whether you’re looking for a long session, four seasons bivvy or a quick-erect day trip shelter, the carp section will have just what you need. This is the place to head for to see all Carp Kinetic’s latest carp rod pods, chairs, bedchairs, luggage, ready-rod sleeves and alarm sets. One of the best deals on offer will be a set of wireless alarms with receiver for £100.
Massive bait section: Show organisers have put more space aside for bait this year, and plan to pile it high and sell it all. The entire Feeding Frenzy range – with prices starting at £1 a tub – will be on show, along with pellets, groundbaits, tins, flavours, and buckets of baits from big brand bait firms.
Man on the Mic: Used Tackle boss Roger Surgay will be starting his Man on the Mic tackle auction just after 9am on both days and this will be your opportunity to get your hands on some unique deals. Get there early to grab the best bargains.
Top dealers: Along with Used Tackle, the UK’s biggest tackle shop chain Fishing Republic and the famous Vale Royal Angling will be there too.
