Don't get me wrong these are great hook baits but just had a look for some more and cant believe how much they have gone up over the last couple years £17 a tub now more expensive than custom corkballs. There obviously still selling well as every time I go on the basket is disabled.

I bought three tubs a couple of years ago and didn't think twice about it as the prices were comparable with other non-corkball baits. Since then the prices have nearly trebled. It's just nuts now.

that's business though isn't it, when demand out strips supply, put your prices up.

One, to maximise profit and two, hopefully slow demand. Im sure if they wernt as good as they are, no one would buy them and they would be £10 a tub. Ive never used em but the fact they are in such demand, selling out every single time, they must be really good and catch a lot of fish otherwise no one would bother eh.

He seems to add a lot of desirable ingredients, and his reputation, the baits are held in very high regard.

They look well rooled from the images on the site.

Many fans out there ?

Fair play to the guy......if he can sell them faster than he can make them at £15/£17 a pot then good luck to him for building up that demand. In terms of the bait, it is all impeccably rolled and they have been my go-to hookbaits for a few years. A couple of the combos have been amazingly productive for me, so much so, that I have have a few pots stockpiled in case they get discontinued, which one version has. Everyone has their preferences but my own experience with some of these baits means I'll continue to buy them.......even at £17 a pot😳

They probably cost less than 2 quid a pot to produce including packaging.

The price will keep rising until demand drops to a level he can keep up with I expect
Are you sure?
