“We don’t make promises but we will guarantee, good quality products at competitive prices delivered straight to your door with the safeguard of knowing that our excellent customer service team are there to assist you every step of the way”

We are a long established company founded in 1985 by master angler Mr. Albert Atkins. Albert fished competitively for Ireland for over 10 seasons and supplied fishing tackle and specialist salmon flies to anglers across the UK. In 2008, Atkins Angling partnered with Export Technologies and launched the business online and quickly started selling to anglers all over the globe. The enormous success of the newly launched Atkins website, produced new challenges and demands and following Albert's retirement in 2010, the business was sold to two local business partners who have an interest in both angling and technology. The new owners quickly realised that to be successful online, they had to prioritise, time and resources on providing quality products at competitive prices with a strong emphasis on customer service.

The Atkins team has experience in all disciplines of fishing and is passionate about the sport. The team dedicate a lot of time and effort into selecting a range of products that have a valued reputation for quality and durability. As a rule, we do not sell products that we do not have confidence in. We stock thousands of specialist quality items and are continually adding to our product range. Current lines include Hoggs of Fife, Loop, Shimano, Shakespeare, Scierra, Diawa, Wychwood, Flybox, Kamasan and Cortland to name but a few.

Used in 2010, a lot of their 'stock' is still with the manufacturer and as a result orders are very slow and arrive incomplete over weeks. This may have changed with the improved website but fair warning.

Ditto that, helpful and friendly to a fault but delivery can take al winter.

Hi Guys,

First of all I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Gordon Nesbitt and along with my business partner Therese Charles, we are the owners of Atkins Angling.
We took over the business in the latter part of 2010, well aware of the task at hand. We have brought a completely new team on board, each having extensive experience in their field, and all working round the clock to rectify those issues that everyone on here is all too aware of, such as items not being in stock at the time of ordering. Sure, we could have changed our name, or made an all-singing and all dancing announcement when we took over but the problems would have still been there, so we wanted not only to be open and honest, but also 100% certain that everything was fixed before we could move on. We are very proud of the work we have done, and very much hope you give us the chance to show you. More changes can be found in our product lines, moving into the coarse and sea markets and bringing better quality products to the fore.
We also offer much more than quality tackle now, such as individually tailored holiday packages including accommodation, for you or your family. We have rods available on the River Bann, including the famous Carnroe Weir, one of the country's premier salmon beats, and all available with guides if required. We offer a tackle hire service as well as tuition and guiding, all in some of the finest scenery available. We live in a beautiful country and we'd very much like you to experience the best it has to offer, be it game, coarse or sea.
We will be working closely with the team here at Fish & Fly over the next few months so I'm sure you'll be hearing alot more from us, and we look forward to hearing more for you.
