Shane, Surrey Tackle Exchange

Hello, I'm Shane

I've been buying and collecting fishing tackle around Surrey for years. If you have unwanted fishing gear that's filling up the loft, the shed or the garage, I'll happily take a look, pay a fair price, and take it all away for free. Whether it's a tackle box or a lifetime's collection, feel free to send me a message.

What sellers say

Honest, friendly, fair

★★★★★

"Came out a couple of days after I rang, went through everything and told me what was worth having and what wasn't. Paid a fair price and took the lot."

Margaret · Woking
★★★★★

"Easy to deal with. Forty odd years of gear out of the shed in one visit, no haggling."

Colin · Farnham
★★★★★

"I didn't know what any of my late husband's tackle was. Shane was patient, explained what everything was worth, and didn't rush me. Very respectful."

Common questions

Things people ask Shane

Is my old tackle actually worth anything?

Often, yes - and sometimes more than you'd expect. Good vintage reels, wooden centrepins and split cane rods can fetch hundreds of pounds. If it's worth good money, I'll tell you straight and pay it. If it isn't, I'll tell you that too.

Do you really come to me for free?

Yes. I travel anywhere in Surrey or Hampshire, take a look, and there's no charge and no obligation whatsoever. If you decide not to sell, that's absolutely fine.

I'm clearing a late relative's things and don't know where to start.

You don't need to know what any of it is - that's my job. Take it at your own pace, and I'll explain what's there and what it's worth, piece by piece. If you'd rather I simply take care of the whole lot in one visit, I will.

How do you pay?

Cash on the spot, or an instant bank transfer if you'd prefer a record of it - whichever suits you. You're paid in full before I take a single item away.
