I've been doing my homework on Tackle Retailers in the U.K. that ship internationally. It seems Spotty Dog tackle is outstanding. Not only do they have a good reputation for service but their prices are outstanding. I've been comparing prices on the Century TT LD and the Akios Shuttle. Places like Gerrys are charging $470 US just for the rod shipped; which is $80-$90 more than Spotty Dog and North East Tackle.
Spotty is the only one that offers discounts not only on the shipping cost but also on product costs. The rod and reel combo together (shipped) runs (in US dollars) $736 through Gerrys, $661 at North East and $613 at Spotty. The current exchange rate is $1.585 US to the Pound.
Looks like Spotty Dog is the place to shop.
Agreed. I purchased a 13' beach caster from them. including shipping it cost $50 less than either the dealer in Florida or the Rhode Island dealer wanted for the exact same thing, and it was delivered in two days
