Wasn't rollin baits Dave Moores company, if correct it would stand to reason Bill liked rollin as I'm sure Dave developed the big fish mix etc

I think Rollin did a lot with Nutrabaits, might even have been almost next door to each other. No idea why he didn't go to Rollin after selling Nutrabaits, maybe too closely linked and he wanted a clean break. I just remember in articles and podcasts (plus his IG now) he uses RG.

Rollin and nutrabaits go way back. Rollin used to roll all nutrabaits mixes before nutrabajts took rolling in house after bill.

As for RG the minute companies start dishing out free bait and salaries to multiple ‘field testers' that's me out moving forward.

It's hard enough to make a decent bait these days with the cost of ingredients and everything else without multiple share holders, testers and influencers wanting a slice of the pie.

Something has to give and each to their own but I got no interest in helping fund a bank trap
Lifestyle if I can help it

Steve Briggs is a gentleman - one of the nicest and most honest 'pro' anglers out there. It's a pity that there are not more like him.......

Thanks guys, that's pretty much my recollection too, I knew they were 'close' in more than one way, hence my thoughts re Bill. A syndi I used to be on Bill, Bryan and friends used to fish it, a heavily Nutrabaits dominated water and I'm sure the rolling was done by Rollin after a bailiff left who used to do it...iirc, the old grey matter fires correctly every now and then

All these Nash bait sponsored anglers bemoaning the loss of Nash bait. It wouldn't of been beyond the realms of possibility to club together and get someone to roll say Scopex squid so they all could carry on using...

But thinking about it. They would have to pay.. better to move on and get there bait free from somebody else with maybe for some a little bonus fee for using it.. The best bait they have ever used soon gets forgotten when free bait and money is involved..

Haha love it ! For some reason , I had Alan Partridge's voice in my head whilst I read it ! I'll stop laughing in a minute 😄

Steve is a lovely bloke. If he gets it free and it catches him fish good luck to him.

True.

But honestly most of us would be happy to use bait from several companies.

I am a big Baitworks fan, but I'd happily use John Baker, ABS, or Essential B5.

There's a lot of ****ty firms, but there are quite a few good ones

I've used RG for years. Brilliant bait and great service every time.

Their profile is being raised by the likes of Bill, Steve and Mark being on board but, it's far from a "sell-out" to sponsored anglers. Don't think for a second that Gregg will let his standards slip, their bait is top quality.

Watched Mr Briggs new video last night, the cottage at The Avenue and plugs for RG Baits, that combo will give someone on here a coronary

Edit...ahh..go on then

Scopex squid changed, when it first come out what a great bait. But you are correct putting the hand in ones pockets changes things for a lot of people.

You'd better gave a good bait. You wouldn't want to blank at those prices.
