Have you done this? What is the smallest qty they will supply as 'trade'? I suspect it will be bigger than most home rollers would want i.e. whole sacks.

I am also waiting to see if AA start to put prices up now they main competitor has gone :-(

That is a kick in the plums for me as well i was thinking of starting rolling my own bait again i have a very successful recipe.

They were very convenient for most of my bits but they had one item that was very different to any i have got from other companies.

Who else are good suppliers i know about aa baits, quality baits, target baits, i hadn't heard of orion?

The biggest headache for me will be sourcing a comparable pop up mix. I’ve tried several others over the years and the BAF is the only one I could get the consistent quality rolls from. It’s the closest to the old Richworth pop up mixes from years ago.

That is a shame - can get most stuff from AA baits or Orion (no idea if it's the same, but I'm led to believe for hydros most come from a few huge manufacturers), and maybe some entropuneral type will set up buying big, selling small.

Ceasing supply to all but the big trade and wholesalers from 1st November. That’s a kick in the plums for small bait companies like me, after years of taking our money, if you ain’t buying every ingredient buy the ton, they ain’t interested anymore. I’m a bit p155ed by that to be honest.
