Never been but I know there are some awesome lure builders in the UK especially when it comes to jerk baits and soft plastics

I was at one in Leistershire years ago, it was basically the back of a guys house turned into a shop. They had alot of little pencil bobbers etc..... and one of the coolest chairs/tackle boxes i ever seen. I didn't see any big box type stores like we have here.

Fosters of Birmingham (think it is now called angling Direct) comes highly recommended from a friend near there.

Made it to Angling Direct today. Mostly carp fishing gear, but I found a few pike lures that aren稚 around Canada.

Leadertec comes to mind. I ordered a fair bit of big game tackle from them just prior to moving here. I知 not sure if they sell freshwater tackle.

Not a ton of big stuff, but some Savage Gear soft bait harnesses, some Westin baits, and a few Fox Rage. The harnesses are what I was looking for. The shop was 90% Carp gear.

Gator gum lures can be found in shops and they make some nice soft plastics
Enjoy your trip
