Very sad news. I will always recall his rejoinder to advocates of feeding carp large amounts of expensive HNV baits. "What do you want to do, feed them or catch them?" Fair point, Bob. Thousands of carp anglers doff their caps and say a big thank-you for orange Tuttis!

Condolences to his family. Rest in peace, Bob, the Well-Known Carp Angler

Really nice bloke was Bob, I had a lot of dealings over the phone in the 90s and he was always very interested to hear about what we were all catching. He will be missed. One of the nice guys

RIP Bob Baker. Top Carp angler and founder of Richworth Baits. A genuine legend in bait making, indeed including the best Tutti Fruity ever! I can remember back in the early 80's walking in to a tackle shop seeing and buying the first freezer boilies from Richworth. He went on the change the way we made, bought and stored our baits for sure. Another great loss to the Carping world.

He didn't start Richworth. The clues in the name

Clive Dietrich and Malcolm Winkworth

Although I'm in the same club as him, I can't recall every actually meeting him, maybe in passing on a work party. But every single time I've ever heard another member who knows him speak of him, they always say what a lovely guy he was.

Definitely a sad loss.
Are you sure?
