Does not reply to messages or return calls, the odd dated message on FB or Instagram. Can only assume RIP UB Baits, time to move on which is a shame. I hope Ryan is OK but you cant run a business like this.

Shame that is, the hookbait market is getting quite congested now, UB were around when it was still just a few now I can name more hookbait companies than bait companies, all selling 12 quid pots of hookbaits at a much more attractive mark up than boilies, from what it seemed, they were doing it properly, atleast a couple remain which do

Exactly that for me too, another carp angling rip off. Why would you want to make a food source when you can flog 50 baits for more than a KG of decent bait!
I can see home rolling making a comeback soon but even that is subjected to a heavy premium of carp tax in a lot of cases

To be fair there is also a substantial amount more investment in machinery to produce feed baits in any decent volumes.
I cocked up big time a few years back when I thought I'd never be making bait again so I sold off my tables, compressor, gun, burco, mixing gear etc etc. So it's a lot easier to just make hookbaits with a battery gun and shillam tables.
But yes I completely agree. Considering what's probably in a lot of pop ups, basically feck all, the mark up for some companies must be huge. At least some out there are producing them with decent additives and food products included. But not many.

Fifty hook baits for £12 @ 24p a hook bait, if a quarter of the fifty hook baits help put a result on the bank I'd consider that a bargain, especially when I haven't used my time to roll them.
