Firstly Happy New year, we were all hoping for a better start to 2021 but keeping everyone safe is the most important thing. Following the most recent guidelines our retail store will be closed with immediate effect. We will be continuing to process and ship any mail orders as normal and will be accepting new orders both online and by phone. Regarding
BobCo Click & Collect, this is allowed and we will be reverting back to our Drive through click and collect, orders can be placed online or over the phone and collected outside the store.
The Angling Trust are continuing talks with the government to confirm the correct guidelines on Fishing during this lockdown so please check on the Angling Trust facebook page or back here when updates become available.

We regret to inform you that our normal bank holiday sale will not be taking place this August. 2020 has been a tough year for everyone, no matter what industry they work in. For the tackle industry, the impact has been on imported goods, with manufacturers lead times out to months instead of days.
The decision has been reached due to several factors. Firstly there would not be a safe way to hold the sale in store due to government guidelines only allowing us 30 people in store at any given time. An online sale was considered, but due to lack of stock from suppliers we don't physically have the stock to sell.
Please be assured that we at Bobco are doing everything we possibly can to return operations to normal and hopefully see you all at the next bank holiday.
Please stay safe whatever you are doing this bank holiday.
Tight lines and all the best from everyone at Bobco.

BobCo Easter Sale.
We have made the decision not to go ahead with our normal Easter Sale. We apologise to anyone who has been waiting for this, we are still continuing with our online orders and dispatching as normal but we could not maintain a safe working environment and our standard of service with the increased activity which the Sale produces.

Update from Angling Trust.
We must all do what is required of us by the Government for the benefit of our own health and that of our communities, we should therefore refrain from fishing and work together to fight this pandemic and save lives.
What isn’t clear from the statement is whether fishing is an allowed form of exercise.
We will seek clarification from Sport England and other Government bodies to understand this detail and will update this page as soon as we know more.
(update: 24/03/2020)
Based on latest government advice, to protect our customers and colleagues, we have closed all stores until further notice. We continue to operate online, our delivery lead times maybe longer than usual. Please bear with us, we’ll get your orders to you as quickly as possible.
We don’t want to inundate you with emails so keep checking this page for updates on the moving situation.
