Somers Fishing Tackle

Somers Fishing Tackle is based on Bon Accord Terrace in Aberdeen. Jim Somers founded the business on Thistle Street in 1951, and it manufactured the Grant Vibration Green Heart Rod. David Craik later bought the shop and established agreements with international tackle suppliers. In 1995, he moved the business to larger premises, with Paul Young of Hooked On Scotland conducting the opening. The shop advertises more than 300 rods in stock. Its range includes rods, reels, lines, hooks, nets, spinning lures and fly-tying materials, alongside bait for sea, freshwater and coarse fishing. Clothing includes waders, wading boots, jackets and flotation suits. Accessories include tackle boxes, bags, sunglasses and shelters. The website also lists tackle hire, River Don guiding, books, maps and gift vouchers.
