| Re: Bennets of Sheffield. Sad news that is bad news, even though i've not used them, as i try to support my local tackle shop as much as possible, it's not good just for the anglers in & around sheffield, but for the whole of the uk. i always looked at their adverts in the mags & their prices seemed competitive. goes to show that a company of any size isn't safe in these times. i guess people may be finding deals on internet, but sometimes when you've taken p&p into account, it can still be cheaper to drive to your local shop, plus you've got the ability to handle, inspect & compare with similar, plus the advice of the shop staff you don't get with auction sites etc, also if something goes wrong, it's easier to return the goods if got from shops. remember: support your local tackle shops, once they're gone, you won't get the same service from these online only traders. __________________ www.mobilespanner1.co.uk |

| Re: Bennets of Sheffield. Sad news I get emails of all their latest offers and I got one through this morning it didn't mention anything...whether they're trying to get rid of their stock...maybe it's worth giving them a call... Hewy __________________ www.thecarpden.co.uk |

| Re: Bennets of Sheffield. Sad news Hi Everyone;Thats so sad to hear about Bennets.Over the years i have had loads of kit from them.A couple of years ago i'm sure they had problems resulting from some major flooding,that resulted in financial problems due to the loss of stock,it took a while for them to get back to normal.I feel as though part of me is in mourning!. |

| Re: Bennets of Sheffield. Sad news I have been using Bennets for nearly 15 years now, i even had account with them, i spoke to adminstators today and they stated they would release a statement later this week. It is a shame :-(  __________________ Born to fish made to work |
