Lakeside Angling Supplies

Fishing tackle and bait at Woodland Waters, Ancaster

Lakeside Angling Supplies operates a tackle shop at Woodland Waters on Willoughby Road in Ancaster, near Grantham. The business combines a physical store with an online shop organised by brand and by product type, and describes itself as a destination for fishing tackle and bait. Its range is aimed at coarse and match anglers as well as carp and predator specialists.

Product ranges

The catalogue is divided into fishing tackle, groundbaits and pellets, boilies and particles, meat and additives, liquids, predator lures, equipment and gift cards. Within these groups the shop lists rods, luggage and terminal tackle alongside consumable baits. The boilies are presented as 100 percent fish, fishery and environmentally friendly. The site also states that live bait is offered fresh daily.

Brands stocked

The shop organises much of its stock by manufacturer. Brands named on the site include:

• Carp Spirit, CC Moore, Colmic, Copdock Angling, Drennan, Dynamite Baits, ESP, Exner, Foxy Leads, Guru, Korda, Middy, Okuma, Pallatrax, Ringers, Rapala, Sensas, Sticky Baits, Target Fish UK, Van Den Eynde and WOLF.
• Dolly's Sweet Treats, LiquiRigs and Evolved Baits.
• Lakeside Angling Supplies' own line, which the company says is made in the UK by its team.
