I think if the cell had never been invented they would have disappeared years ago.

Agree, they were already the biggest bait firm by far imo, what with the Grange, Activ-8, Maple-8 etc etc. They were a bloody huge firm and still are.

Lets be honest here this is the naysayers wet dream is it not? Korda/DF and Mainline together...tissues at the ready

I heard about this a few weeks ago via an Instagram reel from a "well known" angler just saying "Korda have brought Mainline?". Didn't think too much about it apart from 'well he would know.'

The bait Danny was using in his latest masterclass did pique my interest mind.

Maybe Danny is having more of an input into the type of bait they are producing next. Same as he did with the fittings on the Daiwa blanks.

That fishmeal boilie did look interesting,they need do something new.Sticky baits outsells Mainline in the shops I use by a big amount.

Seems like someone may have an axe to grind.

The Opal mix, the 8 baits, The Grange?! You must have a pretty short memory.

Me too, I always did well on NRG.

Liked it most when it had gone slightly sticky with white spots starting to appear on the outside!

Had some nice fish using it.

"They had some very successful baits before the Cell"

Agreed, what I meant is The Cell has kept them going. How many lakes still see Grange and Active 8, and have done in significant quantities, for the last 10 years? Especially when you compare it to the likes of CC Moore, Sticky etc etc.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
