Well it seemed like a loaded question implying my company wasnt a "proper" one.

The fact is, you're on here making claims about other bait companies. Whether you're right or wrong, behaving in this way is unprofessional. It's cringey and it shows a complete lack of class. I don't need any advice from anyone with those characteristics thanks.

There are two very prominent bait companies on here, both running very successful businesses. I'm sure they both know a few other companies out there cutting corners & producing poor bait but you'll never see either of them make any comment about it.

If someone from Sticky baits came on here and started insinuating that a competitors bait was poor or that they loaded their bait with bread, it would be suicide for their business. You don't see it in any industry.

Spot on nick. Slagging off other companies (and then claiming not to be?!) Is the fastest way to lose credibility!!

Nope, but then you've never used my bait or certainly haven't ordered under your name. Atleast what I spout is true.

Boycie the advice was on not judging people based on a singular facet of their interactions I.e an Internet forum when I've got two minutes between job procedures, agin, worth taking

That's not true - I have spent money with several firms (including 2 bait ones) that I wouldn't have otherwise known about if it wasn't for this forum.

You honestly couldn't be more wrong. How a business owner portrays themselves online can and does have a huge impact on their sales. Why do you think any large business employs PR teams?

Just because you give money to charity or offer advice to people on here, does not give you the right to go around slagging off, sorry, 'offering your opinion' on how other bait companies go about their business.

No matter what spin you put on it, it's bad practice and I can assure you it doesn't go unnoticed by potential customers. You're deluded if you think otherwise.

I've seen at least two comments on social media recently commenting on your 'opinions' on here.

If you give a valid reason, a genuine criticism, it needs to be tempered with why you dislike a product or manufacturer. Thing are some genuine reasons that may not be broadcastable and are better kept quiet.

Oh give it a rest Boycie, I know what volume I sell and I know what volume others sell, I do more than alright cheers. to imply I never had credibility? pathetic. I offered dialogue but you can't be bothered.

You have no idea how the bait trade works, the truth isn't found on this forum much lol. if only you knew who I've helped formulate baits for.

At the end of the day, I've NEVER said a false word on this forum and the people who are informed know this, even if they dont like it lol.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
