I know how much time and money can get sunk into fishing gear. Over the years, I’ve built up a good understanding of what works, what lasts, and what’s not worth the hassle, and I wanted to create a place where people could buy decent tackle without paying silly prices. Whether you’re out on the Essex coast after cod or bass, or sat by a quiet lake with a float rod in hand, having the right kit makes all the difference – and that’s exactly what we try to provide here.

What you’ll find at Budwick’s is a mix of new stock and second-hand bargains, all chosen with fishermen in mind. It’s about good, reliable gear that’ll help you enjoy your time on the water. I’ve spent plenty of hours at local waters and along the shoreline, so everything here comes from experience. Have a browse through the categories, and hopefully you’ll find something that suits the way you fish.
