Not my first time and won’t be the last
Not my first, and there’s no chance of it being my last, purchase.
Immediate response to my offer for a reel and the reel arrived safely and very carefully packed 24 hours after ordering. The reel is actually in better condition than I thought it would be so I’m delighted. I’m a vintage tackle user as against collector so working properly is what matters. It works to perfection.
My previous purchase was a rod and again the experience was just the same.

Great inventory covering every aspect of the sport, being based in Florida I’d like to see more saltwater choice could be my only criticism
Hardy The Matchfisher Reel…
I bought a rare Hardy The Matchfisher Reel from this company and it is everything I expected it to be. However there were a couple of issues with the reel that were not mentioned it the eBay description. Not a problem for me because I will restore the reel to a fantastic condition. I was given a discount on the reel and the cost of postage was very good and I received the parcel very quickly. I would recommend www,thomasturner.com to anyone - Very happy with the company.

pleased with the transaction for the Hardy Smuggler fly rod
very pleased with the transaction in general. One small issue (the rod has a slight "set" near the tip). While this should not affect the performance much, mention could have been incuded in the description. Still, I am happy with the rod and doing business with Thomas Turner.

World Class Customer Service
It's so refreshing to deal with a business who's no.1 priority is world class customer service.
Thomas Turner demonstrated this in spadefulls when I had the absolute pleasure of purchasing a reel from them this week.
They really couldn't have done more to ensure that I had the reel I needed, and displayed a level of professionalism and courtesy I havent experienced for many years.
Needless to say, for my future requirements, I will turn to Thomas Turner before all others.
Thank you gentlemen, you have done me a great service.
Great experience
Great customer care and attention to the customer requests and needs. Looking forward to more purchases!
