Are the baits the same matt left

In reply to Post #1
Yes buy with confidence

In reply to Post #1
Apparently so, and you actually recieve your order now too....

What is the best Corkballs from u b to go for
Do they still last 24hours in the lake before the paste goes soft

In reply to Post #4
How long do you want them to last??

In reply to Post #5
I heard some people saying since new owner the paste as been really soft after being in the lake 1 hour

In reply to Post #4
Don't know mate I don't use them myself, matt did me some cork balls of my own baits I roll myself and while they looked nice they fell apart after a couple of hours whereas the ones I've done myself since last 24 hours easily

In reply to Post #7
My mate had some customs rolled. He wasn't happy at all with them. To be fair UB redid them for him, but by that point he'd lost confidence in them, so to my knowledge he just binned them.

In reply to Post #8
Ye I think since matt as left it's gone crap

In reply to Post #9
I had some Ting Tongs off him and they were perfect

I've had 4 pots of Custom Cork Balls since Ryan took over. They have been perfectly rolled, reliably buoyant, resilient and easily last 24hrs+. They've caught me fish right from the off as either singles or over bait. Confidence in a pot and well worth the money👍

In reply to Post #9
Only slightly softer, I would say maybe due to being fresher? Will still last 24hrs easy.. just airdry them if you want them firmer

I've been using the GTX airballs and bombers, both are exactly the
same as before

In reply to Post #14
I am chatting about the Corkball pops

In reply to Post #15
To be fair I've not heard anything negative since Ryan took over, they were a shower of **** when matt was running it

In reply to Post #16
Didn't you think matts was as good then

In reply to Post #17
Like I said earlier he rolled some for me with basemix and liquids I supplied and they looked nice but fell apart in no time at all, so I had a go myself and they last perfectly well. Matt was notoriously flakey when it came to delivery, people waiting weeks or months and that's just taking the piss. He had circumstances but was still taking orders so really unprofessional. Not used his own baits, I prefer shillhams airballs popups, or specialised hookbaits. I'm having about 2 thirds of my fish of the garlic ones on the trip I'm on at the minute

In reply to Post #6
I've had about 12 orders off Ryan and he's been spot on to do business with. One time I had a pot that turned soft about couple hrs, I mean really soft. Contacted Ryan and problem sorted. Can't really fault him. But then I was a lucky one. Never had one problem with matt either. I wouldn't use anything else. In a overpriced market where other companies are asking silly money. These are the ones for me 👍🏻

In reply to Post #19
Also been looking at koda pops Corkballs from Mark dean

In reply to Post #9
So you come on and ask if the baits are the same,then you state they have gone crap since Matt left.Have you actually ordered some and tried them

In reply to Post #19
I've had multiple orders off Ryan, only Bobbers as don't use pop ups. He and his hook baits have been great, I also never had problems with Matt, even towards the end. I don't use any other hookbaits only UB over AB Baits boilies 👌🏻

Just seen that ‘Colin' from St Ives has been out in a UB Pop Up

In reply to Post #15
Ryan rolled some bespoke mix corkballs for me. have been perfect, paste stays on the cork, super buoyant. Big from me and Id use him again without doubt.

In reply to Post #24
What did you get made

In reply to Post #7
Matts old UB Corkballs were far too soft. For a 'bespoke manufacturer', I could not believe how poor they were, my own home made ones being miles better. A curiosity purchase, and an error. It's not difficult to make them last at least 48 hours, I can see no excuse for shabby products.

In reply to Post #26
Cheers for that reply mate

In reply to Post #23
That was me using a UB custom cork ball

In reply to Post #28
Nice one

In reply to Post #27
That was Matts not Ryan's so has no relevance to your original question.It seems you are just trying to stir up **** about Ryan,have you actually used his baits yet

In reply to Post #30
It does look that way doesn't it

In reply to Post #1
I have found the corkballs are really good but I have found the bobbers are much softer sine ryan started doing them. They smell the same just seem like they haven't been dried as long or the mix has less hardener in it.

In reply to Post #28
Oi, oi Andy.
Didn't realise you were on here lol
Congrats on Colin

In reply to Post #31
Thats the way it seems to me

In reply to Post #33
Haha-I get around! Cheers, mate👍

In reply to Post #30
Not at all I have purchased some just wanted to know if anyone else had problems with them

In reply to Post #30
And yes it was the new owners Corkballs not matts

In reply to Post #36
Have you contacted Ryan to sort out the issue

I've ordered a fair bit off Ryan since he's taken over and put the new website up. I've had no problems at all with either his cork balls or Air balls. Brilliant all round service with good communications.

In reply to Post #25
cork ball pop ups my own bespoke mix and flavours. Ryan did a great job, well happy.

Hi, I just saw this thread and just wanted to say if anyone has or have had any problems with their hookbaits from me, please feel free to get in contact & I am more than happy to sort something out with you, the last thing I want is people being unhappy and all feedback is valued and appreciated. Apologies if you were not satisfied and please do get in touch with me via the Facebook page or my mobile number on the page. Cheers Ryan

In reply to Post #26
You're spot on, near the end the bloke sent out pure *****, I know because i had to bin a couple of pots that basically melted anywhere near water, the **** also ripped people off.

The new owner is very helpful and returns inquiries very quickly , what worries me is the new chap is using the same formulations and i could end up with the same end result, bait in the bin rather than in the water.

Ryan has anything changed?

In reply to Post #42
I promise they won't melt away, if you fancy a sample pot to test just drop me a message on the UB Baits page and I'll send them out to you.

If anyone else wants to try a few, same applies just drop me a message on the UB Baits Facebook page and I'll Sort it out it's a good opportunity for people to try the baits again or for the first time. I'd much rather let the baits do the talking.

In reply to Post #32
I've had a few pots of Bobbers from Ryan and they have all been far from soft! I even struggle to get the needle through some of them. I don't leave any bait on longer than overnight, and when I bring them in to freshen up you still can't squash them off, even sometimes hard to split. I don't use pop ups so can't comment on them, but I can comment on the great products and service. Keep it up Ryan

In reply to Post #43
Excellent customer service

For anyone concerned about this clown Carp123' opinions, he's just started a shilling thread for the Koda pops baits. I think it would be fair to say his opinion on UB baits can be taken with a pinch of salt.

In reply to Post #46
Ulterior motive perhaps?

SHIRLEY not??

In reply to Post #46
Don't say anything he will be sending you a pm like he did me

In reply to Post #48
Don't, I won't sleep tonight.

In reply to Post #43
Thanks Ryan......top service......

In reply to Post #48
Does he want to take you out for dinner?

In reply to Post #51
I think so

In reply to Post #52
Ordered some Wednesday arrived today look spot on 👍

Top service for me too, great pop ups

In reply to Post #1
I had no end of problems getting matt to fulfil orders but liked his products so was on the way to ordering with Ryan. When the order was arranged over FB he wanted paying PayPal friends and family which I wasn't prepared to do. Since them I've since been using specialised hookbaits and well happy. I won't be going back

In reply to Post #55
You only have to look at his feedback now it speaks for itself. Funny you say that. I gave my mate a few ting tongs and he's had it off straight away, so much so that the specialised hookbaits have gone and he's on the ting tongs. He said to me why pay silly money when you can £7.50 and For him the results on ub have smashed specialised

I've just orders some ting tongs in 12mm

In reply to Post #57
You won't be disappointed

In reply to Post #58
use with confidence , I do

Received mine today and they are spot but proof is in the pudding so will be given them a go over the next few weeks......order with confidence I say.......

Placed a couple of orders recently & both were delivered in a couple days. Quite a contrast not only to the previous owner but pretty much every other bait maker too.

In reply to Post #43
Just received my samples from Ryan, look absolutely spot on. Many thanks mate, much appreciated.

I currently use there ultra fish bobbers in pink and there the best hookbait I've used so far.

Had 2 x Stunners on the MC Nut CBs and a 9lb pike on a TT CB......

Just received my samples,thanks Ryan.Love the plum and squid smell,can't wait try them next week

In reply to Post #65
Had a few on them mate smell nice don't they

In reply to Post #66
Yes mate,think I will be ordering some bobbers in that flavour 👍

In reply to Post #9
30 posts on the forum and your having a go
Yes I am being funny, sounds like s××t slinging to me, now jog on 👍

I received my Ting tongs this week, they look spot on and smell great
Placed my order on the Sunday evening, turned up Tuesday morning
Brilliant service at a fair price

Thanks Ryan

Just received my latest order, all good as usual, one thing though, I ordered some Ting Tong bobbers (as I have done very well on TT pop ups) and also ordered some GTX bobbers on a whim as I have heard good things about them, only thing is they smell pretty much exactly the same

I could be 'nose blind' after smelling the first one though

In reply to Post #70
I think two of the flavours are the same in both

Had another 2 fish to MC Nut and 1 on Hydra K.......tempted to look at MC Nut Boilees as has 4 fish on the pop ups in 2 sessions........

In reply to Post #71
Yes they are definitely very similar, slightly different overtones in the GTX though

In reply to Post #73
im wrong, i now believe only one flavour is the same

In reply to Post #74

In reply to Post #68
He has not posted since trying his bull**** routine,I think people saw through him spouting ********
