The longer days are a good excuse to pull the fishing gear out before the first proper summer mission. A quick check now beats finding a tired trace, damaged rod guide or empty tackle box when you’re ready to head out.
Start with the rod and reel
Check the guides for damage, give your reel a look over and see how the line has held up. If it needs a fresh spool, bring your gear into Harty’s. Our reel-spooling service covers a range of setups, with help on knots and rigging when you need it.
Thinking about a new setup? Browse our fishing rods and reels online, then ask the team about matching a setup to the fishing you want to do.
Restock the small things
Hooks, swivels, leader and other tackle are easy to use up and easy to forget. Lay everything out and check what needs replacing before you pack. Our tackle and accessories range is a good place to start.
Pick up ice, bait and berley in store
Stop at 1 Wallis Street, Raglan, for salt ice, frozen bait and berley. These are available in store only. If you’re unsure what to take, tell the team where and how you plan to fish and we’ll help you get organised.
Think beyond the tackle box
Check your outdoor kit too: a hat, sunglasses, suitable clothing and the practical bits that make a day outside more comfortable. Have a browse through camping and outdoor gear and the rest of the shop while you’re making your list.
Get sorted before the rush
You can shop online and choose delivery or local collection at checkout. For advice or reel spooling, call 07 825 8881 or drop into Harty’s. Same Raglan locals, ready to help you make the most of summer.
