As I now have limited freezer space I'm looking to buy decent prepared particles and transfer it to probably 3kilo bags so I can use 1 bag per session and as I'm only one mile from my lake I can bait regularly, I have limited freezer space so I can freeze some and keep shelf life fresh. Any suggestions where I should or shouldn't purchase please? I want quality rather than quantity, tigers will be a must probably the black ones.

Carbon baits do excellent shelflife particles and often do deals 👍
Their fresh is also awesome

impact particles do fresh hemp for £1.00 a kilo
but I'm worried about 7/10 days delivery time..
Have they improved their particles?
is it worth a try.

Id steer clear of Monster/Impact particles unless you can pick up.

There postage is so unreliable and the particles have seriously gone downhill from when they started.

I've not used them for a long time but follow on Facebook. See loads of complaints even since they changed hands

It's weird everything has been rebranded but the facebook name has stayed as Monster...

Yeah it's odd. I'm assuming they are wanting to keep the name as it has a large number of followers. Truthfully I ordered off them a couple of times, it wasn't great, delivery was quite expensive and I just cook my own now.

However they clearly sell a lot so must be doing something right 🤣🤣

I bought 30kg for prebaiting when my syndicate went into closed season, the price was very cheap but the delivery was inconsistent, I think it finally turned up nearly 2 weeks after it was due.

The tigers were also really small, not like advertised.

They should just be able to change the account name. I did it recently as we converted to a charity at work and rebranded. Took Facebook 2 days to approve it mind. Don't lose any followers or anything. It's like changing the profile pic.
I find it very odd they haven't done it.

That's the reason a owner of a very well known big named lake complex down my way banned all particle people where turning up with 30kg 40kg of particle and chucking it in on a 48hr session and it ended up rotting on the lake bed, he blamed companies like monster and a few others for bad quality particle and then banned them all

Now it's just boilie and pellet

30kg over 3 months is nothing though, i fish a 12 acre estate lake which i walk regularly (when home) making sure otters have not come on.

Most people ban particle on syndicates because the fish don't put on weight like boilie, Rich Wilby is a prime example of this on Mustang.

Sadly it's the same as any bait, used properly most baits have their advantages. Used wrongly and they can damage waters.

I enjoy particle fishing and it makes it more affordable for me. However I certainly won't be spombing out 30kg on a session!
Are you sure?
