Welcome to Gerry’s Fishing: The Premier Fishing Tackle Shop in Morecambe & Lancaster

All the Tackle & Bait You Can Dream of Under One Roof

Gerry’s Fishing is your ultimate destination for all things angling. Located just 6 minutes from the M6 Motorway, J34 Lancaster junction (Postcode: LA4 4EU), our sprawling superstore houses over 19,000 different items of fishing tackle from all the biggest global brands, alongside highly sought-after specialist labels.

For over 40 years, our dedicated fishing tackle shop has been the trusted hub for anglers across the region. We believe in providing a hands-on experience, drawing a huge customer base who prefer to handle and inspect their gear in person rather than just looking at a picture online. Every member of our staff is a passionate, experienced angler, ready to provide honest, impartial advice to help you select the exact equipment you need to maximize your catch rate.

Extensive Fishing Tackle Specifications & Categories

We supply meticulously curated gear for every discipline, ensuring you have the right tools for the job:

  • Sea Fishing Tackle: Heavy-duty rods, high-capacity reels, specialized rigs, and robust end tackle designed to withstand harsh saltwater environments and powerful tides.

  • Carp Fishing Tackle: Premium bivvies, sensitive bite alarms, high-carbon specimen rods, and advanced terminal tackle for targeting wary, heavyweight carp.

  • Coarse & Match Fishing Tackle: Precision floats, lightweight carbon poles, and ergonomic seat boxes engineered for speed, accuracy, and comfort during long match sessions.

  • Lure Fishing Tackle: High-tech braided lines, invisible fluorocarbons, and an exhaustive selection of hard baits, spinners, and soft plastics for targeting predatory fish.

Premium Fresh & Frozen Bait Selection

We pride ourselves on supplying some of the finest, freshest bait available in the country, kept in optimal conditions to guarantee maximum attraction when you hit the water.

  • Fresh Sea Bait: Essential for surfcasting and shore angling, we receive regular deliveries of top-quality blow lug, black lug, and lively rag worm. When in season, we also stock fresh peeler crab—an unbeatable bait for targeting smoothhound and bass.

  • Fresh Coarse Bait: Ideal for float and feeder fishing, our maggots are available in various colors all year round, sold in half-pint, pint, and gallon quantities. We also maintain a steady supply of fresh casters and plump lob worms for enticing larger coarse species like tench, bream, and chub.

  • Frozen Baits: We carry a superb range of blast-frozen baits, perfectly preserved and packaged for both sea fishing trips and winter pike fishing applications.

To guarantee your bait for your next session, all baits are available for pre-order and collection at our store. Please call our dedicated bait line on 01524 422146, option 2.

Gerry’s Pro Tip

Always match your bait presentation to the clarity of the water and the tide state. When sea fishing during a strong tidal pull, a neatly whipped black lugworm bait secured with elastic thread will withstand the current and crab activity far better than a loose presentation, giving you a significantly higher hook-up rate.

Examples of Where to Use Our Tackle

Whether you are surfcasting for winter cod off the beaches of Morecambe Bay, trotting a float for silverfish in the Lancaster Canal, targeting double-figure pike, or exploring the expansive commercial carp fisheries scattered around the North West, our extensive tackle and bait combinations are tailored for these exact local environments.
