Over 50 Years of British Sea Fishing Innovation
Built by Fishermen, Trusted Worldwide
Breakaway Tackle started back in 1968 when Norman Bickers turned £50 and a bright idea into something that changed sea fishing forever. Born in Ipswich, Suffolk – and still proudly based here – we’ve spent decades inventing tackle that actually works for real anglers.
From the original Breakaway Lead to the famous Impact Lead, we’ve helped beachcasters all over the world cast further, fish smarter, and waste less bait.
Whether you’re new to the sport or you’ve been fishing since rods were made of cane, you’ll find honest advice, top-quality gear, and good old Suffolk know-how right here.
We might be known around the world now, but we’re still a small team of proper fishermen — designing, testing, and packing every bit of tackle with care, right here in Ipswich.
Retail or trade, one hook or a hundred — if you love sea fishing, you’re in good company.

If you like fishing, this is going to be your new Aladin’s Cave. There’s not a lot that they don’t do here. Old and new rods, tackle for every type of fishing, and loads of types of bait. My first visit was about a month ago, and I’ve been in several times since!
Thank you to the team at Breakaway. I love my new kit, and I’ll see you again soon.
Ordered a couple of Imp tools – 1 for home, 1 in the box as a guest Wednesday night. Turned up Friday.
I’m impressed with the quality of the kit but also the service.
Thank you.
I had a small issue with an order but it was resolved brilliantly. Norman is definitely the shop we all wish we had near home. I’m sorry Brexit has made it very expensive to order in the UK otherwise I would buy a lot of fishing tackle from your lovely shop. Hopefully one day we’ll see each other again in Europe.
Super customer service who’s there to help when needed but let’s you do your shopping in peace.
Great tackle and very healthy live bait.
Very reasonably priced store with a selection so big you’ll always find something else you want even when you have to go by a list!
Definitely happy to return and recommend!
