Bait and tackle supplies in Lydd-on-Sea
Dungeness lugworm and fishing tackle in Kent
As well as our local fish, we can provide live bait in the form of the famous black lugworm. Even though they are more difficult to locate and dig, most anglers find the effort well worthwhile as fish love lugworm, and you have a better chance of a good haul when using it as bait. We also supply squid at £5.00 for a 1lb. box, sand eels, frozen mackerel at £1.00 each, cuttlefish and sprats.
