There's a world of difference between those two things. Anyone selling airballs for hiked prices is pulling your pants down. As an example.... When we made the TackleBox & FishOn airballs... I did them for FREE. Gave them to the two shops by the box load. Both are owned by good friends who have always helped me.
But they were given, for free. Could knock them out all day, everyday, for buttons, literally by the millions.
As JamieWest said... That's why there are now soooo many hook bait firms. Poor anglers who simply don't know/understand the difference. Mainly dosed blanks. Money for old rope.
If you own a Ferrari... You will have certain stupid people telling you that their Ford Focus is just as good. They will find every reason in the world why their car is as good as yours inside their heads... Like a strange obsession... Because they can't afford a Ferrari. That's just human nature. In carp fishing hook baits now... Reliant Robins are being priced up like the Ferraris.
Anyway. This is Lunar Hook Baits thread. Good luck to them. Good luck to all the rest too.

Quote... Tougher than plastering ?🤔😀
Of course not on a like for like basis.
In reality, in my world now.... Far far tougher. I collapse into bed most nights. I rarely know what day it is. It all blends into one. I literally work sixteen hours a day seven days a week. It was six & a half weeks I have not had a day off for, not a month. Not a single day. If I am awake, I am working. That brings a pressure that plastering never could.
Yesterday we had 67 separate messages to the work mobile. 67 different carpers new to us that want a reply. The day before 42. Most have not been answered yet. At the same time I have the shops asking constantly when they will have more product that the punters are all screaming for. It's not just about rolling pop ups anymore. We are having much larger premises very soon. That will allow for more staff. Once the website eventually goes, it will take so much pressure off of me.

Anglers are conditioned to like shiney and pretty things. I showed someone a pot of Marks, and they said "people may be put off because they are not perfectly round".
This is the problem. Folk want things to match the lake bottom, have things blended in like a ****ing Dulux colour chart, yet want a bright pink perfectly round pop up that smells of elderflowers, sitting 4 inches above bright gravel.
Carp anglers have zero common sense, and don't see when they are truly getting mugged off for a pound note. They are happy to spend 60p each on the sharpest hook known to man, yet scoff at spending 60p on their hookbait
