My local supplier of particle has sadly shut down and looking around for a reliable source of prepared particle. Monster particle was my first thought but the postage bumps the price right up. Carbon baits seem to offer a decent deal but does anyone know what the quality is like and how reliable they are?

Thanks for the feedback. I've put an order and I'll see how it goes. I'm probably too fussy over a bit of hemp!

Been using Carbon Baits this year on my 3rd order. Very pleased with the quality and customer service. I only use the shelf life and always a good deal on offer. Most importantly the Carp seem to love it

20kg of hemp and maize turned up today. Sealed bags inside other bags. A couple of bags ripped. Does smell a bit ripe but I'm sure I'll be ok. I'd imagine the courier had it from Friday/Saturday and the damaged bags has probably been caused in transit.

I have used carbon for a long time shocked to hear some of the feedback. Always been happy with what I have received and never had a issue with any stuff I have ordered.

Genuinely interested as to why the previous post was deleted? Surely he's entitled to defend his company? Seems a bit one sided otherwise surely?

My post was equally scathing of both companies!!!,still disappointed a subjective post should be deleted though.

Mods on here seem to be censoring or locking posts ? Has the forum been bought by North Korea

So because a few of your “mates” use Carbon baits you've taken it upon yourself to delete any criticism of said company !!

I'm sure the majority of forum members are intelligent enough to distinguish the the fact that the post was referring to 2 separate companies of which the OP had experienced similar issues with no ? Or does a thread have to stick solely to its title & not stray from that subject ?

Despite a problem with an earlier order, Luke personally got in touch and kindly replaced my previous faulty order foc so thumbs from me, can't argue with great service above and beyond the call of duty.

Had a few problems with the courier that Monster use with bags splitting and bait & liquids all over the shop. I appreciate that Monster can't do nothing about that as once it's out the door you are at the hands of the Courier, probably why some it smelt a bit off.

I must have been unlucky being the last drop off on the delivery.


*Edited as the initial wording sounded like Monster was to blame.*


Cheers
