You clearly don't understand irony, are you American? Don't bother to reply as I'm no longer interested.

Don't be silly now. These claims by one person to know every other companies overheads are quite frankly laughable. You should buy that bridge yourself... And fwiw using mainline and top quality in the same sentence is the funniest part of what you wrote imo

An educated guess from an experienced bait maker, that I know and trust is good enough for me. If you think mainline got huge by producing top quality baits with expensive ingredients, at a low profit margin. I've a very pretty bridge over the Thames I could let you have at a very attractive price.

Seems unlikely that anyone could possibly know what every firms production costs were. It's an educated guess at best

Sorry, I was just trying to point out the profit margin the big firms work on.

I am not talking about that though, I am asking about the bait sexonlegs mentions that is far superior to anything on the market that's around £3. Where did I mention the "bigboys" ?.

A major bait producer told me 2 years ago the there wasn't a big bait firm that was making bait that cost more than £2.50 /kg. Costs may have risen since then.

So how much per kilo do you think the big boys that resell through retailers cost their baits at? £3 isn’t far off the mix when you then add overheads, a margin, transportation and then allow the retailer enough of a margin 🤷‍♀️

£3 a kg, go on then put that recipe on here. The days of dirt cheap quality baits are in the rearview mirror, everything costs so much more now. I am intrigued to see this bait especially the ability to make a kg at a time.

re: *Life can be simple and fools pay a lot of money for a bag of mainline!*

indeed!...but hey ho that's 90% of today's modern so called "carp anglers" their modus operandi...sitting in a £1k bivvy, catapulting out £13 + per kg boilies with a paid subscription to some carp fishing channel BS!!!

YOU could knock up a KG mix, FAR SUPERIOR than ANY commercial boilie mix ...most of the ingredients can be sourced from super markets Asian shops etc...would work out around £3 a KG...I use a mix sourced from the above for years AND it rolls superbly WITHOUT eggs! 100% CONFIDENCE!
