Default Sportsfish

Have never dealt with Sportfish before, considering purchasing Snowbee Classic Breathable Over Trousers. Are Sportsfish quite reliable and speedy with their orders os is it advised to phone first to see if item is in stock ?

They are first class but so is Ian Woods who will probably do you a better deal

Make sure you ring them first. They are a nightmare to deal with if the product is not in stock. I waited a month for a UTC wire in olive and I had to call them in the end to ask where my item was and was told it was still out of stock. I said it would be nice if someone had phoned or e-mailed me to tell me even after a month. In the end i told them to just send me any colour they had in stock and have never oredered anything from them again. The Stores are just as bad. The catalogue says one thing and the store staff says something different. IF I WAS YOU I WOULD RING AND RESERVE THE ITEM BEFORE I WASTE A DRIVE TO THEM. Better still deal with someone else..

Tap the product into Google, you will be surprised how cheap you can get them compared to Sportfish.

i've only ever shopped at their reading branch, but find them really good. Not cheap normally, but they do good sales and they're not averse to a bit of haggling.

Never tried th online shop, although have noticed their online prices can be a lot cheaper than in store. Cheers. John

I was at the Reading shop for 90 minutes today, and found the shop was really well stocked, and the staff, particularly Tom, were extremely knowledgeable and helpful to a newbie like me!!!
All I can suggest is if you don't live to far away, give them a visit, there's a lake on sit, so you can try before you buy.

Never had a problem with them online or at the shop, wouldn't go there for a bargain, but the staff are knowledgable and helpful. I do enjoy the open days, last was watching Steve Rajeff.
