They still turnover plenty, but anything could be going on? A well known company “went bust” last year it was just not being able to find a buyer and loosing his son he and his missus decided to move and start over.

Not saying that's what's happened here by the way just that what people see on the surface on a company is rarely 10% of tge story

Not forgetting that they don't just flog particles, they also own a fishery in Stafford with one lake as a "syndicate". You'd be pretty upset if you'd have shelled out a few hundred quid on joining that and they've gone bust.....

never had any quality stuff from there. used them a few times, was reassured that quality would be better on next order and was still crap.
can defiantly see why carbon baits are booming and monster are in the pan.

I'd made an order back in the middle of April I think and asked for deliver on a future date. Had the text/email confirmation of shipment so contacted them to see if that was just a generic email or had it actually been sent out as I asked for delayed delivery. Turns out they had sent it and was delivered and left in my bin cupboard for a week because I was away on holiday. Bit of grief trying to message/email them but finally got a response and they said they will re send my order for delivery the day I wanted.

Have read a few comments on their Facebook posts and people are not happy with the delays in their orders and that they keep promoting new sales (they are like DFS 😂 but have a backlog as it is. I'm going to message them again to make sure we are still on for the delivery as it's still a few weeks away and I'll probably pester them the week of delivery to make sure it's coming still

when they was based in walsall the quality was so much better.

Fair enough. But they shouldn't say delivery is 7-10 days when it's over 20. I wont be using them again.

They used to be not far from me but they moved I believe to rugley and I once had a subscription of monster particles from big carp magazine and wasn't really impressed with them I think some floated and went off quick too.
Are you sure?
