Tackle Shops are as Follow:  

Angling Direct Suffolk, The Business Park, Ellough Industrial Estate, Near Beccles, Suffolk. Has fresh bait for weekends delivered Friday. These are top clas good sized maggots generally speaking and the srevice is friendly and efficient. Casters should be ordered in advance by a couple of days due to demand. The largest tackle shop in the area it has a complete matchman's range; and specimen hunter's requirements too. Manager "Slim" is probably the youngest Shop manager in the Country but as a top flight matchman always good for venue advice. I will be amazed if they have not got what you want or cannot get it from the Parent shop in Angling Direct in Norwich, that includes bloodworm too.

Waveney Tackle in Harleston is near to Wreybread Pits and sells bait too. The best place to buy your Harleston, Wortwell & District AC day ticket for their Weybread Pits from.

Sam Hooks in Lowestoft is another well stocked shop.

All of these sell Club Membership books and the Bungay Cherry Tree AC does do prepurchased day and weekly tickets. NOT on sale up the bank!
