Not asking much Ian!
Living in Turkey can have its downsides and this highlights one of them.
In the UK, we take for granted the fact that we can usually find a shop specialising in almost anything.
The few tackle shops I do know of in and around Turkey cater purely for the budget fisherman. (The bamboo stick and safety pin brigade).
Any quality branded tackle is usually sourced outside of Turkey and imported privately. This being the case for many of the specialised Angling Boats that operate out of Antalya.
One thought did spring to mind. I have tried the Abu Garcia website
Here but cannot get the page to load. I do remember that their paper catalogue used to list affiliate dealers around the world, maybe you will get lucky and find one in Turkey, but its probably not going to be a dolmus ride from Fethiye Ian.
Failing this, I can only recommend you research what you want on the net and get a buddy to bring the gear over.
Good luck!
Merv!
