There is no plan to mate. But we can do them for you no problem as a special order, if you contact us via message on the work mobile.

I have worked every single day for the past six weeks... Only day off was Xmas day.... But now ... I have 5 weeks in paradise with my missus. Yeee haaa 🤩🇧🇷❤️

We are completely up to date with all orders... And have enough stock done to raise the titanic whilst I am away. All orders will be going out as normal while I'm away.

If you need to contact us for any reason until the end of February... WhatsApp and WhatsApp alone is the way forwards. (Free).

I hope it's not to cold in Blighty... It's 32 degrees here today 🥳

This is a general question for anyone really. I've gone from using my regular foodbait to a fruity fish meal,

Generally use S3 & S4, would you be all still happy to use these over fishmeal, I'd say absolutely no problem; but I'd like some feedback if possible.

GP.

Cheers, that's a good analogy. I didn't think there'd be any issue but just wanted another opinion.

Hi All - i have some of the GPB1's cork dust balanced baits, but theyre much to bouyant to be balanced out by my usual size. Any tips for the best way to balance them out - i dont really like cutting pieces off as all the coating is removed

From my understanding the whole point of the curing process with the crushed cork baits is that it penetrates rather than coats. You should be fine cutting down a bit.

Another option could be low diameter bait drill and poke a bit of lead wire from your leadcore in.

Pull out lumps of cork, that's where the bouyancy is.

Or use it to your advantage to use a bigger, heavier hook......

You're right , I don't see a problem with uber buoyant hook baits. It just means you can use a bigger hook. If it's balanced a size 2 shouldn't be a problem. It's only in you're mind where it doesn't work.

Quick question on delivery times, not that I'm in any rush but just wondered approx how long it takes once you've placed an order?
Thanks

I'm not sure even a size 2 would balance them. I must've trimmed off more than half the bait and they were still pulling up a size 5 with a micro swivel. I'm wondering if I've been sent pop ups by accident
Are you sure?
