    Hi all.

    I'm looking for advice on the best tackle shops in Dublin City. I want to buy my Dad a new set of lures for Xmas. He's big into lake fishing, especially Pike.

    Any help you could give me would be great!

    Thanks!

    Try Henrys Tackle store near Croke Park very friendly and loads of good advice on offer, only problem is i always end up spending too much,
    You could also try online a place like http://www.harrissportsmail.com/ alot more to choose from.

    You could also order them from the States. Try Cabelas (www.cabelas.com) - cheaper than here and a much better selection than any tackle shop I've been in.

    You may not receive items from the US in time for Xmas.
    Try:
    Henry's Tackle north city centre
    Southside Angling south city (Cork St)
    Rorys Fishing Tackle south city centre (Temple Bar)
    or
    Tallaght Rod n Gun Castletimon SC off the Greenhills Road

    All have a good selection of the stuff that matters.

    Lures of 4 to 7 inches in length are about right, though be warned the total replica lures are shocking expensive.

    Hope this helps. :)

    unknown waters when giving lures - might be better giving the Dad a voucher for one of the shops (better value after Christmas with shop sales)

    got loads of stuff of Cabelas and find them excellent. generally postage does not take longer than a week to ten days. it depends upon 1 what you are buying and 2 whether they have it in stock or not. Watch out for the duty on larger items.
