Dynamite Baits

[InteraX]

Does anyone know what's happening with Dynamite Baits and their boilies?

I haven't seen anywhere with Complex-T in stock this year and their presence in tackle shops seems to be waining. Its such a shame as Complex-T was great and I had lots of success on it, it was my 'go to' bait.

I know Terry Hearn left them a couple of years ago now. Maybe they've decided they can't compete.

I got into discussions with someone about bait companies this year and I gave some figures for various bait companies. Dynamite baits (owned by Rapala), have less than 10 employees, and have a turnover of less than £1million.

Total fishing tackle and Johnson Ross both have Complex T in stock. There were quite a few others if you Google it. Johnson ross even do a bulk discount offer.

With the loss of Nash Baits, it seems like 2 major bait brands are exiting the market.

What do the likes of Sticky C C Moore etc do? Are they producing in the UK still or have they all setup manufacturing in the EU?

Lot more than 2 brands left mate.

Just wondering what happened to the Hearn / Sticky bait thing tho?

Terry's still with Sticky. They released a video with him not too long ago and talks about the in this months Carpology.

There's far more than just those I mentioned, but I always got the impression Nash and Dynamite were some of the bigger brands.

I guess that UK manufacturers may be struggling selling into the EU now we've left.

Dynamite still going alright. Plenty of anglers on their books. Think in Europe they have a good following. Their new squid and black pepper seems to be doing alright to those using it locally to me.
