    Ebay, fees from 1st October

    Squeeze ready paste/ground bait

    The texture is intriguing. Coarse but dry and this is the thing. No water needs to be added. Just mix a small quantity in your hand by squeezing. Best way I can describe it is that it has the look and consistency of demmara sugar. That can be compacted together in the hand in the same way .

    Squeeze ready paste/ground bait

    I will try horlicks, many thanks, but I am sure it's more than that. Fjuka for example creates a wax like coating, like on edam, quite remarkable. Not saying it will stay on for rover fishing but for still waters 3-4 hours easily.

    I'm truth too ebay has not helped the tackle trade. Having said that it has been of tremendous benefit for my retirement years .

    Bobco - In Administration

    Whilst that is very true Richard and I am guilty of that too but the margins in tackle are a bit off. Stuff on a rack are cheap, have healthy margins but need vast repetitive sales to generate meaningful revenue. Rods on the other had are dear to buy, display for who knows how long then the...

    To be honest joe. I have tried so many different businesses over my career, (and always failed, )I feel for the owners.

    I think that true Alan. I watch ebay quite avidly. It has been a wonderful boon since I retired allowing buying trying and selling reels then later rods. But now it is totally moribund.
