Don't do it
Tim Richardson will turn your bait brain into headf*ck and mush.
Probably a clever and nice guy, never met him, but many of his ideas are way OTT, complicated and expensive bait ideas.

I will 2nd that! His books are a mish-mash of half ideas that may or may not work. His x-factor audition is legendary if you can find it

Cringeworthy but comedy gold at the same time

Last time I looked at his online marketing it was just hard sell drivel for pages and pages trying to convince you to buy a course

Fred Wilton and Hutchy's books were always a good starting point for bait related reading or BBs confessions of a carp Fisher for something old and different

Search for the UCN threads on here. Worth a read. Probably more for the laugh than the technical advice though

If your into your bait I'd of thought Tim Paisleys book " Carp bait and Nutritional recognition " would be worth a read.

And how can I forget the "Father" of the boiled bait Fred Wilton.

His ideas weren't pseudo science they'd made total sense.

His original articles were published in the early BCSG magazine and might be hard to source. But were reproduced in the late Chris Haswell book " Carp County " which is still readily available.

Hi Peter

His x factor audition was deffnately legendary, but his complete meltdown on the forum was pretty epic as well. Hacked accounts, spamming it up, weird imaginary girlfriends, all Hollywood stuff. I did a search, but it looks like it's all been archived.
Best

Wasn't it him that hacked the site so all we could see was turnips?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
