Tight Lines Tackle Opens
A new fishing tackle shop has opened in Leighton Buzzard called Tight Lines Tackle on North Street, directly opposite The Wheatsheaf Pub.
LB residents have had to make hour long trips to Aylesbury, Hemel and MK for their bait and tackle since Browns closed in December last year so local man Simon Foxwell decided to take action. He tells us “So far it has been greatly received by the huge amount of anglers in and around the area, especially the local kids who have had to badger their parents to drive them elsewhere for their hobby.”
