so thats basically 15'000 people buying two packs since most people use 3 rods. That surprises me. I mean on the plus side thats 60'000 twigs, hopefully he only put in a minimum order which is almost depleted and can try and make a new safe version 2... or just stop selling them..

Will be interesting to see how the European carp fraternity reacts, there is a huge huge market out there and this will probably give his company the vast majority of his sales.

Not 30k, 300k! But I imagine he has got his eyes on the European market and won't be too fussed if it's banned into oblivion back home. Apparently a former employer of Hamidi was approached and rejected it on ethical grounds...

I honestly don't think you could copy this and make it any more dangerous

"Not 30k, 300k" I was assuming that was the amount of money not the actual amount of products.

I don't think with all the bans in place there is not enough revenue to encourage someone to copy and reproduce in China.
Most of our consumer electrical goods are made out there, they typically have the best of everything when it comes to manufacturing capabilities.

I don't think it's the Chinese fault more like the person getting them to do it who is probably some clueless western person trying to make a quick ££

I may be out of date, but it used to cost approx £15K to bring a product to market.

Design, Tooling, packaging, marketing etc

He's suddenly gone very quiet on the twig front now Embryo and Gigantica have banned them, so has the OMC page.

“.... honestly bud, give it ago. Europe sold out, England only has a few heavy left ... shows amongst the noise there is plenty of people realising how effective this is

A lot of very inexperienced carp fishermen over here 😢😢😢

All hype... if they have sold 300,000 of that death rig contraption it would really show the state of our hobby... utter rubbish and self hype.

You should all see the state of one of his (Hamidi) FB comments of yesterday night.

He's dug in so deeply, he clearly sees no way back and despite all the obviousness, carp care and survival has been deleted from his rationality radar....

" Well The Magic Twig is firmly here to stay...and I hope in that time just a tiny amount of the population actually cast one out and fish with them. Then draw some accurate personal data. If not, have no opinion at all and let those loving them enjoy their journey. We will support them and ensure they have great success with the product. It's times like these when you really have a love for your most loyal supporters. Always there for us! "
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
