Quick to take the money? We have a 100% record with PayPal, that spans more than eleven years. We sort out stuff for our customers when it's not even our fault. We always have. You received a PayPal receipt of purchase, with our phone number on it. We do not spam email our customers. We do not even collect your email address.

Sorry your text message from 4pm today had not been replied to just yet. The post below yours, the one where it says that I'm on holiday, that's why you did not get an instant reply today. While on holiday, I'm replying to all messages once a day, in the mornings.

You have just been refunded for your order from seven days ago Chris. Check your PayPal, it's been refunded in full. We had a two week (14 day) waiting time on the front of the website when you placed your order with us last Tuesday.

We will be totally up to date with all orders, right up to current time by tomorrow afternoon. We have just had an incredibly busy six weeks. Apologies that we did not get your stuff to you fast enough.

You get a PayPal,confirmation and the website says a fourteen day turnaround?? Why would you also need another confirmation email?

And he does reply when on hols, just not instantly as he's on hols. I really hope you don't sit there on your phone answering stuff instantly, as you're on hols. Having a holiday. With people that don't see you when you're at work. Which is why you have a holiday. To get away from work. Isn't it?

Just to add i wasnt asking for a refund as your products have great feedback and didnt see anything about holiday when ordering or from paypal.

Chris, your text was not replied to for six hours yesterday. There is a four hour time difference where we are. I am typing this at 06:40am. I was spending just a small amount of time with my loved ones yesterday. We were at the beach. Because you did not receive a reply to your text message after six hours, you came to social media to start all this. When you are saying 'these', and 'quick to take the money' you are trying to imply something. That's your right. But that's why you were refunded instantly.

There is a two week waiting time on our website. You waited seven days. The post you replied to three times last night, actually told you that I was on holiday. It's far better just to refund you. Hopefully you will be more happy now that you got your money back. We are as of this morning completely up to date with all orders.

Before the forum shut down two months ago, we had a couple of people from other bait firms, plus a couple of absolute noddy members of this place trying to create crap for us. That has now spilt over to other platforms too. Standard internet practices in 2024 for some very tragic people it seems.

Your money was refunded, there are no more problems now. This thread, on this forum, has seemingly completely run its course now.

Have a great day Chris. Apologies again that we did not get your stuff to you fast enough.

Work/life balance is more important to me. We'll be a long time dead.

Patience is a virtue Mark shame some people haven't got any, dont sweat the small stuff and enjoy the rest of your holiday as you'll soon be back in dreary Blighty with the rest of us miserable sods.

I've likely missed loads, if I missed yours I am sorry.

This one has not been caught for several years, from a large London ressie. It's a forum member who would rather not be named. Thank you for letting us show it. That's a really special carp.

Knew I'd forget plenty.

And that's not even mentioning the ones that are on other large bait firms social media. Fish that were caught by their paid 'stars' on our products, which they paid full price for. Nothing whatsoever to do with the crap bait which they get for free, and are paid to promote to you lot... But they do not want to actually fish with it, just to sell it to you. Nothing new there whatsoever. "You can post the photos on Friday". You can poke those two mid 40's where the sun does not shine. You're a joke, you flat earth noddy idiot. In future, you can buy them in someone else's name. Like a little weasel, when those vast amounts you have run out, can't you.

We will have loads more DNA Bug ready in the next couple of weeks for those that keep asking.

Forum member Ashley with a new PB, white S2 13mm cc. Well done Ashley.





Jack, Johnsons Road & Island, that carp is older than me, let alone Jack, GPB2 13mm cc



Dutch canal, GPB2 13mm cc



Tonfords long common, GPB2 13mm cc



Will and his mate Mark are out at the Zoo currently with some of the Gardner blokes. It's fishing hard and no one is catching. Will has on a TC1 16mm cc & his mate Mark has on a GPB2 13mm cc.

Hi Mark, I did tell myself I was only allowed to buy the cheese and the garlics, then you went and said s2 and specials and it'd be rude not to have a pot. can you say what RH flavour is in the s2 specials ?

Didn't this thread get moved to the sponsors section?

It crashes my phone trying to load all the photos
Are you sure?
