Hats of to the man he is doing great marketing wise.... put out you are selling your company, cut the supply so prices sky rocket and make your company worth more... of course you need to have 1 class product to achieve that normally... good luck to him...

Get what your saying but if there is 30 baits in a pot then its approx £1 per bait / per fish, No different to those super sharp hooks or leads in reality......Add in the confidence factor and its well worth its money to lots of people obviously......

I don't quite believe that this company can't keep up with the demand.

More of a marketing ploy IMO.

They are not making 100's of kilos of bait per week, and with such huge profit margins being made, it would be stupid not to ramp up production to keep up with the demand. Simply involve a mate or two in production or a family member or even a full time member of staff.

thing is he closed the shop before putting the price at 30 quid so you can't buy any anyway. the price might as well say 300 quid..........it don't matter because you can't buy them. the price before he put the shutters up was 17.99 which was still ridiculous for airball type baits . I've got a full tub of cell a tub of pineapple and some scopex/squid specials. 200 quid and you can have them lol

I have not made pop ups before but I have made bottom baits for years using a 40 quid gun and a table plus a kenwood chef. 10kg of bait could be made in 4 hours.

I appreciate there is drying time / admin time but at best 2 days work to sell 10 kg of pop ups / over 300 pots.

25 quid profit per pot gives: 1500 quid gross profit for 2 days work.

All a rough calculation but it's BS to say they can't keep up with the demand.

Ie the demand is simply not there.

I do alright on CC Moore Northern Specials. Mate of mine swears by Baitroom Wafters & Pop ups. Each to their own I guess when it comes to price. Clearly there is a demand from anglers who are happily to pay that much. With demand created by disabling the basket too. Good luck to him. 😎

Non story really the price went upto £30 after the store closed and it won't open until December. Its certainly got people talking about the brand though maybe that was the plan all along 🤔

I was under the impression that shops tend to close when business is suffering.

Here's a thought. If you were mr bait maker and you didn't have capacity to make any more baits. But you had a load of less popular pots you wanted to get rid of. If you make them £30 on your site, but unobtainable, suddenly if you get a load listed on eBay, for £30, they don't look as expensive. Mr eBay buyer checks your site and sees that £30 is infact the RRP

Caught a lot on one particular bait he did but cant get that any more, the bait is very well rolled and the waffters are probably the best out there for doing what they are meant to do and the consistency is spot on.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
