Hi All,

At £5.95 a kilo this deal seems reasonable but has anyone used any of these baits in the lasy few years who can comment on the quality?

Cheers

Pretty sure bait craft closed under a cloud of dodgy financial dealings. Now been bought and not the same guy running it. No idea about the quality, but there's established businesses selling for that sort of price where you can guarantee the quality is good.

It was sold to bank bug, being rolled by someone. I know who rolls very highly regarded gear for several companies, he says t1 is decent, might be an option for someone short on change if there's no MOQ ?

Super K was a favourite bait of mine, caught everywhere with it, then things happened to baitcraft, and the bait was never the same. Wont use any of their baits again, although i still have a pot of original super k wafters & pop ups for scratching time

The original T1 was decent bait, as things went downhill a tad, it showed within the bait. i wouldnt use it today, far better bait on the market

The original owner still has a tie in with the company, and for that reason alone I'd never buy from them.

Just spoken to the actual owner to fact check that, who says that false and the original owner hasn't been involved at all since the takeover.

Back when Mark rolled the T1 in his shed and we got hold of it, it was a step up from anything else we had used previously. We used to pick it up from his house and use it around the Colne Valley. As mentioned below when it went big time and sold for £13/kg the bait quality dropped. Different make up, different smell etc.
Mark was crammed full of knowledge far above anything we had heard of before, such a shame he moved on and away from it. He was a good guy, just got pulled into the big time and lost his way.

Never used the bait, but when Mark sold it he went to the factory and made sure it was being made to the original spec. again, never used it so cannot comment on the quality. however the roller is hugely experienced and reckons its decent, so under 6 quid for decent bait? seems a viable option for some who might not want to pay proper premium prices.

so from £13 per kg down to £6 a kg, especially in difficult times with all the price rises on ingredients, its still the same as the original
