Huge tackle shop Future Fishing opens

One of the biggest tackle shops ever built in the UK has opened its doors for business.

Located in Farndon on the outskirts of Newark, Notts, Future Fishing Ltd features more than 12,000 square feet of branded tackle for carp, match, coarse and predator anglers.

The two-storey shop includes a lure demo tank, a help and advice area, a bivvy village, a 17m pole alley and a huge aquarium modelled on the River Trent.

Shop owner Tony Porter said: “We want to provide the help and advice of a small high street tackle shop with the stock and products of a superstore. We think anglers will appreciate and deserve a decent shopping experience.”

The store is holding an open day on June 4 where guests can meet some of the sport’s biggest names including Shimano-backed matchman Nick Speed and carper Ian Macmillan.

Situated just off the A46, the shop is open every day til 6pm and from 10am-4pm on Sundays. Visit: Facebook, www.futurefishing.co.uk or call 01636 612654.
