Not sure if I am allowed to post this on a chilled site like this is but:

Have looked on 'another place' and seems like so called magic hookbaits are going thru the roof price wise 😂

Think I might have an idea to do the same with mini tubs of particle hookbaits, can't be bothered but suspect it will eventually happen?

The hookbait 'wars' seem to have reached stupid levels, one bloke even challenging others to a 'carp match' for lots of money..... 

Years ago remember a thing about 'Carp anglers' vs 'Match anglers'..... Match fisherman won on Carp caught weight.....

Wasn't the original carp/specimen angler Richard Walker versus Match angler Billy Sails?

Then there was a John Wilson one against an England international match angler, Di ck Clegg(?)

Both were on 3 head to head matches and I think that both were one by the specialist angler 2-1.

I don't think that I was born for the first, and can't remember the Clegg vs Wilson waters, other than John Wilson knew the Royalty stretch of river and drew on a big shoal of bream. I think that they used the same waters as the original, so it's likely that the Witham was included.

I have seen John Wilson tie a size 16 spade end behind his back, and it was tidier than me with a spade end hook tyer.

 

I think that we have mentioned the silly price of super duper tubs of pop-ups, and I agree £25 is silly money. I get disgruntled at paying £9 for a tub!
