Hi Matthew,
We’re sorry to hear about your concerns regarding your order.
We take stock accuracy and customer experience very seriously, and we’d like the opportunity to look into this further for you. However, we’re unable to locate any order or contact details from your review, so we’re currently unable to investigate what has happened in this case.
If you could please get in touch with our customer service team with your order details, we’ll be more than happy to review this and assist you further.

Hi David,
Thank you for your review, and I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling disappointed.
The Trakker RS range is excluded from promotional offers, including free gift promotions. This means that even if your order met the £150 threshold during the promotional period, it would not have qualified for the free gift.
These exclusions are outlined in our terms and conditions to keep things clear for all customers.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.

Awful company
Awful company , have purchased a fair amount from these over the years . Mostly has been good until my last recent order ,where ive been sent a faulty item . Been in contact with them through customer service which is an absolute joke . Ive chosen the whatsapp route as requesting a callback never seems to materialise . The whatsapp chat is pathetic you got one maybe 2 replys a day if your lucky, so you can never get anything resolved on the day . Which doesn't help when your going fishing that week which Iam .
Anyway back to the faulty item which is down to them because they could check there stock beforehand .
I have now decided never to use this company again , there are much better and cheaper websites out there.

We understand how frustrating it is to receive a faulty item, especially when you’re preparing for a fishing trip, and we apologise for the inconvenience caused. We also appreciate your comments regarding our customer service response times, as this is certainly not the experience we want our customers to have.
Your feedback has been passed on to the relevant teams so we can review both our communication processes and stock checking procedures moving forward.

I dont write many reviews and when i do they are mostly bad.i cannot sing this companies praises high enough.I am back fishing after 40 years out and have nothing but help and assistance in store at both Berners Hall and Billericay.The staff cannot do enough to not just help but also educate you when you ask and time spent with you isnt an issue.Ive had issues with items ive bought from them and they have gone above and beyond to help me.I buy most of my gear from the Billericay store and cannot praise every single member of staff enough.Trust me this is a person that only writes bad reviews when im agrieved. Well done Total Fishing.Keep up the good work.

Hi Mark,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this incredible review. Coming from someone who rarely writes positive feedback, your words mean even more to us. It’s fantastic to hear that getting back into fishing after 40 years has been such a positive experience, and we’re honoured to have played a part in that journey.
Our teams at Berners Hall and Billericay will be over the moon to hear your comments. They genuinely care about helping, educating, and making sure every angler — new or returning — feels supported. Knowing that their time, advice, and after‑sales help made such a difference really does make all the effort worthwhile.
We’re especially pleased that the Billericay store has become your go‑to place for gear, and we’ll make sure every member of staff hears your praise. Going above and beyond is exactly what we aim for, so it’s brilliant to know that’s been your experience.
Thank you again for your trust, your honesty, and your kind words. We look forward to helping you enjoy many more years back on the bank.
If you ever need anything, just pop in — we’re always here to help.
Kind Regards

All the members of the team at Total Fishing Tackle who helped me with the purchase of my rods were fantastic from start to finish. They were able too send a link ref payment for purchase of my rods which were sent out that day and arrived safely the following day. Customer service was above and beyond. One happy angler.

Poor service
Purchased the Fox Frontier 2X and the Brands Hatch carp show. Firstly was told delivery would be a week or two, only the following day to get an email that it was a pre order and delivery was over a month
.
On using the bivvy the ETS boss which holds the bivvy open and in position broke. It wasn't right when I set it up and when I come to collapse the bivvy the release button wouldn’t work. This has led to the teeth on the gears snapping off.
I have gone back to Total Fishing Tackle and they are saying “we have spoke to FOX and its user error” I can promise you this was not the case as I have told them the release mechanism wasn't working. I’ve watched many YouTube videos prior to purchasing and followed the correct set process.
Upon contacting Total Fishing Tackle i was offered a replacement part “as a good will gesture” apparently as it’s all my fault………
I’m disappointed with Total Fishing Tackle, mainly with the blame culture, I’m an experienced angler and NEVER struggled setting up bivvy. This product is below par in terms of quality and the one other review on Total Fishing Tackle suggests the same.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.
We understand your frustration regarding both the change in delivery timeframe and the issue you encountered with the bivvy. We appreciate that, as an experienced angler, this situation has been particularly disappointing for you.
Our team can only provide guidance based on the information and assessment received from the manufacturer, however we never want any customer to feel blamed or dismissed when raising a genuine concern. We’re sorry that this was the impression left during your communication with us.
We did offer the replacement part in an effort to help resolve the issue as quickly as possible, but we appreciate this may not have met your expectations in the circumstances.
Thank you again for your honest feedback — it will be shared internally as we continue working to improve both our communication and customer experience.
Kind Regards

Item not delivered
I am writing this review as I have feel ripped off and I am not happy with both outcome and customer service of a transaction with Total fishing tackle. This is NOT about money and I do not want anything from Total fishing tackle. I just want to vent and a response to my questions would be good.
I buy a lot online especially fishing tackle which is my main hobby. I have used Total fishing tackle many times mainly via ebay but also directly a few times. In general I have had very few problems in the last couple of decades of buying online but this transaction has really made me angry.
In summary:
Do I trust Total fishing tackle products?: Yes I do
Do I trust Total fishing tackle to deliver? No I do not
Do I trust Total fishing tackle customer service? No I do not
The problem was simple:
Item was delivered tracked. No text was sent telling me date or time so I was not in, item was either taken away after being marked delivered or was stolen from my drive or doorstep. I did not authorise a safe place delivery and nobody received the item.
Outcome: I sent a message to Total fishing and had no response. I then sent another and was told if I send multiple messages I will go to the back of the queue for a response. In my view that’s really poor customer service. They then communicated no refund, no replacement, no explanation.
My understanding is there is a legal obligation to safely deliver goods not just leave on doorstep.
My questions to Total fishing tackle:
Is this legal obligation not true?
On what basis do you think I am a liar?
On the basis I am not a liar, how would you feel if this happened to you?

Hi Jim,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and understand why this situation has left you feeling frustrated and disappointed.
We would like to reassure you that at no point have we considered you dishonest, and we appreciate your long-standing custom with us over the years. We understand your concerns regarding the delivery and the communication that followed, and we’re sorry that you felt unsupported during the process.
As the parcel was marked as delivered by the courier, our team had to follow the delivery and claims procedures available to us at the time. However, we completely appreciate that from your perspective, the item was not safely received, and we understand how upsetting that is.
We also apologise if our communication regarding response times came across poorly. That certainly wasn’t our intention, and we appreciate your feedback on how this was handled.
Your comments have been noted and shared internally, as customer feedback — both positive and negative — is important in helping us improve both our service and communication going forward.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
Purchased a Fox EOS 1 man bivvy, was missing the pole for the pram/front shelter and they then said this doesnt require a pole and after I then sent numerous pictures they said would you like us to contact the manufacturer and get a spare, well of course I would, after just spending £220 on the bivvy in the first place and it not coming complete what a stupid thing to say.
I bought it direct from you not Fox but I wish I just went to a shop to order as there is so much faffing about with them to confirm things.
This has gone on for a week waiting for this to be sorted as they only repsond within a 24 hour period, the company has no sense of urgency and no reassurance this will be sent or when it will be sent.
The fact they dont have a telephone number says a lot about the way they work, I wouldnt recommend using them at all!!!
