Check out some of the UK tackle sites, there are some very good deals out there at the moment.
I have used these ones myself and know that they do ship abroard - I live in Holand)

Andy, Climax tackle will not ship to the USA.
I tried last year after seeing they had overwraps for an oval for 29 pounds. The Big E also tried to purchase from them.

Im suprised that Climax dont ship to the states. I spoke to them earlier this year and they indicated that they would ship anywhere in the world - you do need to phone them to get a quote for the shipping - the website cant cope with shiping outside of europe

Andy, both the Big E and myself contacted Climax. They were very difficult and when pushed just told us the product was out of stock. The products were and still are on the website!

Why would a company not want to ship products overseas? If the customer is willing to pay, why not? Makes no sense.

Bloody brits! I guess you'll just have to buy from Wacker, Resistance, Royal Carp, Big Carp, New World, etc.

I cant understand the mentality of some of these sites

I have a mate who runs a tackle shop over here in holand. I will have a word with him to see if he is willing to ship to the states. Otherwise if its a case of an item that you need and cant get shiped from a UK site I would be more than happy to arrainge to forward ship to you. PM me if you are interested
