"However, back in January I received a proposal from a consortium of private investors to start and build my own angling brand. I have had approaches in the past, but something felt different about this". To me it doesnt sound like he actively went out looking for investors?? Yes I'm sure there are clauses in which he'll have to hit certain targets, but dont make it out to be something heroic when it really isnt. He already has plenty of contacts, plus having TB on his side means he can get loads of support regarding the clothes, great move for him, I'm sure he will do well in it, but it definitely isnt like going it alone, in my opinion

One thing i still don´t understand, is why Korda brought out the Basix range, which is cheaper than their other stuff, instead of just reducing the price of their original tackle
If you buy the cheaper Basix range, are you getting an inferior product ?
OMC has to come in abit lower, to gain a customer base, and still be able to satisfy his investors.

I dont particularly know the pricing point of the OMC products, but you could argue satisfying a large number of employees at Korda would cost more than satisfying a few investors a few months into a new venture. Plus Ali has only just started, I suspect when they start bringing out multiple plastic products, which tooling is needed in the manufacturing process, then you might see a gradual price increase

Yes they needed to come in lower but Ali clearly things he's either onto a winner in these products or carp anglers will just spend it anyway regardless 🤣

Bought some bits before he announced his tie up wie AD.
But won't be buying any more. He could have been a life blood to the independent shops. But no he sold his soul to the devil instead.
