If fox have a list of dealers on their website then start at the top and work your way down ringing or emailing them , you may find one of the smaller lesser know dealers may still have one in stock.

Love apurple pop up or snowman

Not sure what your point is ???

Sorry no drones is not a silly rule , I go to relax not to have some plonker flying a drone all over the place same as bait boats on most waters .

Just because the ingredients are human grade doesn't mean they are safe for fish especially not knowing the quantities used , the food industry use some dangerous chemicals in processed foods that the food agency allow us to eat .

curious but why 7" ?

mac donalds is food grade -- say no more

Any more details , i.e weight tactics you used etc . P.s understand you keeping the exact location secret .

Trigger always looked after his broom

I don't buy the there's more anglers on the banks these days . Trout/fly fishing is almost non existent , sea fishing doesn't get the numbers it used to Beaches used to be lined up with anglers when the cod where in just doesn't happen any more . The match scene has died , very few general anglers about . Take a walk down your local river or canal at the weekend and you'll be lucky to see anyone fishing , now think back to the 70's , 80's . Even the lakes used to have more anglers , a small lake I fish used to have about 18 swims and would get busy now its mainly carp it's down to 6 swims due to needing more room. Some swims used to have 3 or 4 different general anglers in one day i.e the morning angler , the afternoon and then the evening now that swim may look busier today but the same angler is in there for 48hrs . We fall ourselves that carp angling is big but I don't think its ever hit the numbers that the match and general scene did in the 70's , 80's . Around here most club memberships are down . Must get on ' need to earn money '

I respect your views Yonny but you can't compare modern carp fishing with the general all round fishing from the 70's , 80's even the 90's and say its not in decline . Fly fishing , sea fishing and coarse fishing are and have been in decline ask any tackle dealer or manufacturer and if answering honestly they will all say the same . Busy day ticket waters are probably more to do with a change in the way anglers are fishing , some would view the day ticket waters as the type the modern instant carper goes to . The types of water that you want to fish are still busy with waiting lists ,but these aren't fished by the majority .

Angling has been in decline for decades now , look back at the history of match fishing some open matches on the big canals would have a 1000 anglers with people turned away . The 70' and 80's where probably the peak in fishing numbers . Carp angling has grown massively in a short space of time with a lot of 'instant anglers' and as in many things these days a lot have just seen it as a money making exercise even to such an extent that kids can't nip to their local lake for a few hour FREE fishing . The sad thing is UK fishing is in decline , will it change probably not . When I've got more time I'll bore you all with my views .

Korda are probably bringing a new net and sling out , so he just priming the market

Anyone looking at preparing particles should look here for guidelines .

your prep sounds fine i.e soaking 24-48 hr them simmer for 30 mins , but do not let your particles dry out otherwise your undoing your prep which is done for the health of the fish . Leave the air drying for boilies if you need to .

Out of interest whats your thinking behind air drying the particles

Being in the right spot is more important than the bait , use a good fishmeal boilie and or corn or maize . Part of the fun is sussing a water out your self .

I'm not sure I'd air dry , you need particles to fully absorb water before using hence the soaking & cooking . Freezing them is fine . I remember pre baiting chick peas every night for a week before fishing a water and having a cracking 24hrs .

think your right

I thought Captain Jack died earlier this year .

If ABS was used by Urban baits to roll baits then it's a little out of order to start bitching about ingredients IMO.

Good luck to the guy as Mufty says free advertising . The Dragons gave him an easy ride , no questions about the size of market , percentage of market he has , what the competition is like , does he have a unique selling point/product etc etc . The market is crowded already .

I would still contact 1st just giving them a rough idea of the issues to see what they say .

Just a random thought , but instead of asking the question on here may be drop Delkim an email asking them the question at least you'll know the answer is a correct one . I have these crazy ideas every now and then
