Bait and tackle delivered to your peg!

FORGOTTEN fishing kit can ruin your day, but two brothers are coming to the rescue with their brand-new tackle and bait delivery service!

The Mobile Tackle Box is the creation of Lee and Dan Bridger who since January have been driving to the aid of bankside anglers who have left essential tackle items at home.

Lee said:

“There’s nothing worse than arriving at your peg and realising you’ve forgotten something important – Dan even left his bedchair at home once, having planned an overnight session! 

“Around six months ago we bought a tackle shop and when business was tough, we thought, ‘if they can’t come to us, we’ll just go to them’ – so the Mobile Tackle Box was born.”

If initial reactions from customers are anything to go by, the future of the service looks rosy. 

“It’s been such a rewarding feeling to see so many anglers take to our idea,” said Dan. 

“I recall one guy who had a 48-hour session planned and ran out of gas for his stove almost immediately. 

“A quick call to us and we were on our way with a replacement bottle – you should have seen his face!
