Jackmans Tackle: Specialist Fishing and Sports Shop

Jackmans Tackle supplies an extensive range of fishing tackle and sports equipment, supported by knowledgeable staff offering local expertise. The shop caters to sea, freshwater, and other sporting pursuits in this coastal Devon town.

Teignmouth sits at the mouth of the River Teign where the estuary meets the sea, creating varied angling conditions across beaches, the pier, and sheltered river sections. Species such as bass, mullet, flounder, and rays appear regularly in these waters, while the surrounding countryside provides opportunities for coarse and carp fishing on stillwaters and rivers. Jackmans Tackle Ltd, positioned on Northumberland Place close to the town centre, stocks equipment suited to all these environments.

The shop maintains a broad selection of rods, reels, lines, and terminal tackle from established brands. Fresh and frozen sea baits are available alongside specialist items for coarse fishing, including boilies and pellets for carp.

Lugworm, ragworm, squid, and mackerel feature among the bait options, with staff able to advise on the most effective choices for current conditions. Lightweight beachcasters, fixed-spool reels, and tripods suit shore anglers, while heavier boat rods and multipliers are kept for offshore trips. A dedicated section holds crabbing lines and nets, useful for family activities along the seafront and back beach.

Beyond fishing, the premises include air rifles, pellets, and shooting accessories for target and field use. Clothing ranges from waterproof jackets to base layers and boots designed for coastal exposure. The sports department covers snooker cues, pool tables accessories, darts, and related items, broadening the shop’s appeal to different leisure interests.

Staff members draw on extensive local knowledge to recommend marks, rigs, and techniques. Anglers frequently receive guidance on productive spots along the estuary, the main beach, or further afield towards Dawlish and the Ness. This practical input proves valuable whether planning a short session from the shore or a full day targeting specific species. The shop rates highly with many reviews, particularly for the helpful and informed service provided.
