Default Mikes Tackle Shop Portobello Edinburgh

Not been in this shop for a long time, was looking to stock up on a few items for my flytying stuff. On their website every category I select flylines/flytying materials/rods etc etc there is nothing to show.

Maybe it's just me but if a company cannot be bothered to have their website working properly then IMO it couldn't care less about its customer base, it would be better removing the site altogether. Maybe they have got too big for their boots

Anyone been into the shop lately to buy any flyting materials, feathers etc or would I be better shopping at Ebay?

Cheers

Could be wrong but I think they have moved their online selling to their Ebay site.

Killie,

If you read the text at the top of the home page on their website - big black letters - it states:

For our new online shop with up to date stock levels please look at our ebay store: Dogtooth Tuna Company items - Get great deals on Rigs and Rig Components, Coarse Fishing Accessories items on eBay.co.uk Shops!

eBay Shop:

This website now represents the online catalogue for our shop in Edinburgh.



Kind regards

I stand corrected, I never seen that page, the link I was sent was this Mikes Tackle Shop seeing the Contact Us tab on the nav bar I didn't realise I was already on the Conatct Us page and the home page was elsewhere. I obviously went straight to various categories finding nothing listed moving onto other areas.

Got the site on ebay now...cheers.

Mikes used to be one of the best tackle shops around but unfortunately it seems to have gone down hill rapidly.

I agree with macmagoo.
If you do a search on here you will find very little postive said about Mikes shop.
