End of Summer: With Christmas around the corner
As we approach Christmas it's been another fantastic summer season, both in the shop and online.
September always marks wind down time.
After a busy summer serving anglers across the UK—both in-store and online— September always marks the time of year that I can get out of the shop and going fishing. Granted I do get out in the summer months but that's more about helping other anglers through my experience days or coaching days. From September on through to Spring I compete in the Division two nationals the Angling Trust Winter league as well as Winter canal pairs and other matches around the country.
As we have done now for what nearly 14 years the fishing side of the shop winds down to allow me this time, and Kath's side soartrading.co.uk takes over.
I have to say our YouTube channel has been growing nicely, and we've been quite humbled by you guys coming to see us and by just picking up the phone for a chat.
What's Happening this winter?
We're investing in a complete shop redecoration and refresh, ready for 2026 season. Some of you will know 2023 into early 2024 we were hit with storm damage resulting in the loss of part of the roof. The office and part of the stock room was ruined. Although the shop itself was undamaged it still suffered from builders etc. In a nutshell the shop was a mend and make do and now it badly needs a tart up.
This renovation will allow us to:
- Expand our own product ranges
- Enhance our in-store customer experience
- Modernise the space to match our online presence
We're Still Here for You
Don't worry—we're not going anywhere!
- Kegworth shop: Open but hours may differ. Will keep Google up to date
- Online store: Open as usual 24/7 at www.soartackle.co.uk with fast UK delivery

Looking Ahead to 2026
We can't wait to welcome you back to a refreshed Soar Tackle in 2026.
Other exciting news is the plan to put on our A Pint with Friends show after missing the last couple of years. Also after years on the high street and the insights we've gained from connecting with anglers online, we are looking at setting up a Soar Tackle fishing club, with get togethers and fishing socials. We think both of these are quite exciting and we look forward to bringing you more details in the New year.
Stay tuned for behind-the-scenes updates on our YouTube channel and social media as the transformation takes shape.
Thank you for your continued support. Here's to tight lines through winter and an exciting new chapter in 2026!
