Yep

Done really well on them and still have a good selection leftover thankfully

The Deep Six, tiger toffee, and boosted cell are amazing .... Can reel in 12 hrs later and they still smell brilliant

I found the wafters to hold a size 8 up perfectly before putting one out, but after 12 hours they sunk extremely quick. Not worth the money.
For anyone who likes perfect wafters have a go at DNA's they are brilliant and you get a ridiculous amount in a pot.

Aren't dna cork dust wafters? I've always found cork dust wafters take on water to quick and the buoyancy isn't great

The food bait ones are but the hi vis ones aren't. Find the high vis ones to be balanced exactly the same come morning.

Just seen a post on FB - he's closed for good. Sounds like he's fed up of people catching on his baits and reporting it differently to keep sponsors happy etc, as well as struggling with demand.

His statement makes no sense... Complains sponsored anglers dont wonna say they caught fish on his bait and also says he cant keep up with demand and making that much bait is to much for him...

Its a rant and not a very logical one in the current climate.Take on some staff and keep producing. I've got about 6 pots unused, anyone want to buy them?

Maybe the guy values his time more than the money he earns from it. Cant put a price on that.

From Facebook:

"It is with much regret that I have decided to permanently close the Bait Room and take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to a loyal customer base for your past support.
I have reached a point where I could sell a whole months work in just a few minutes via the website, money and orders were coming in so fast I couldn't keep up with it. Sounds great but after a while it grinds you down, 18 hour days, 7 days a week without a let up... no matter what the price point. Couple that with an industry and high profile anglers that on the whole utterly refuse to give my baits the recognition they deserve, something had to give. I've lost count the number of times my hookbaits have been used to great success by high profile anglers only to see the credit given to another company. So I've pulled the plug.
I am without doubt the very best at what I do, very few come anywhere near. If a larger company wants to utilise my skill and product range, I am certainly up for discussion but that is the only way my bait will be commercially available going forward. My hookbaits are used by many of the biggest companies/names in Carp Fishing but they are never acknowledged. For me this lying on an industrial scale has become intolerable, so we are where we are and the only way I can put a stop to it, is unfortunately by closing.
In essence the industry couldn't even offer me the steam of it's morning piss and I am now I'm offering the same until someone gets their cheque book out. I'm not being rude or trying to insult, just being frank.
Best regards Mitch"

I've got 6 tubs worth of fizz, thunderberrys and mulberry's I'd happily sell for that much haha
Can't quiet work out the rant, unhappy that people aren't plugging his bait and in the same breath moaning he's too busy? Either way, they are no cork ball pop ups and nothing plenty of other companies arnt doing aswell.
