I was wrong.
I'm writing this review after my second shopping experience with Matchman Supplies. My first experience wasn't especially positive - but I was wrong in thinking that the excentricities of their website meant that there was something untrustworthy about them. I left a one star review for a year based on my inaccurate perceptions - and I apologise.
One thing I've noticed about Matchman Supplies is that they often have items in stock which are out of stock in most other places - including items which have been discontinued. When popular items are discontinued the price of any remaining stock usually increases - but I've noticed that Matchman Supplies don't do that, and they should be commended for this.
My order was a Daiwa barbel rod and daiwa emblem bite and run reel which were offered in a very reasonably priced combo deal. Order was placed over the bank holiday weekend, dispatched on the Wednesday with DHL next day delivery. The rod was superbly packaged in a hard plastic tube (most other tackle shops use cardboard). Both items in perfect condition.
I look forward to placing further orders with Matchman Supplies in the future. I'm glad I was wrong.
