Yes that would be a very silly think to do that's sorta what I was asking that even using their flavours would be a copyright breach cos like ccmoore live system nash Citruz most of mainlines baits are copyrighted

If you buy there flavours then you will have no problem saying its a Cell (or whatever) popup. Others do it all the time.

But labelling it as cell and selling it yourself is a trademark breach so if others do that ok but I won't be

Are they any good though? What's your angle? So many nods selling hookbaits its unreal. If you'r another i wouldn't waste your time and just get another shift in the kitchen - £1,£2 a pot - got to sell a few rather than earn a wage.

Funnily enough I saw a bait firm selling cell and active 8 the other day, the description stating it was their own basemix with genuine mainline activators in, which is obviously a p take as the baits are essentially not the cell or activate 8 but if your labelling them as cell 'flavoured' hookbaits I can't see the problem, on the other hand there's a hookbait company called carp junky selling exactly that plus others from other well known companies that recently had to change the names of 3 of their hookbaits as one company objected to them using their bait names, not sure which one though.

Mainline are not keen on anyone using their product names unless it comes from mainline. My advice, say what you use but call them something else (that's inside info too)

It will be good to have another company/bait maker who take care in the hookbaits. Nothing annoys me more than pop ups that don't pop up or wafters that take a hook and shot to counterbalance. When this is set up you need to tell me as be interested in buying a few pots

My angle is, a) to start I will do maybe 5 flavours etc but there will be an option for customisation etc, like powdered feed stimulants, specific colours, flavours, levels of buoyancy etc. For instance I like a pineapple pop up but the vast majority are bright yellow, so I made some white ones took em to a lake where they had been hammered on yellow pineapple(observing from up a tree the fish were shying away from them) but were readily accepted.

B) too many companies pop ups have inconsistent buoyancy's so yes the base range will be ultra buoyant and if people want to customise all they will have to do is simply send me a message with their requirements etc

C) I'm ocd(like had to be medicated not just a tidy person) so when I make my hookbaits if they aren't perfectly round it bugs me, again this will be a customisable option for customers etc
