I should make the most of them guys, there was a debate back in Feb this year started by Roger Cramer on the Middle Trent pages. I know Roger and he used to own a tackle shop, he used to source his pellets direct from the factory and was saying that the sole manufacturere of Elips pellets a company in Scotland would not be making anymore post 2013 - they apparently supply Hinders, CC Moore et al.
I've included the text of one his posts below.....
To be honest, guys I don't know about the source of supply for Teme-Severn or CC Moore Elips pellets (they might be the same as that for Hinders)
All I know is that Trefor West told me that Hinders supplied him way back (and still do) and, that when I took over my tackle shop back in 2003/4 (I subsequently retired in 2010) I used to supply the exact same Elips successfully to customers (as do Sonu Baits, more recently) and the most important fact is these unique Elips pellets all come from the one and only single source i.e. a major (Norwegian) fish feed manufacturer called EWOS, who have a large factory in Scotland, and who have just intimated that they probably won't continue to produce this 'one-off' purpose-designed pellet for the Uk angling market beyond 2013, as it is only providing what is, to them, "an insignificant contribution" to their overall millions of pounds of fish feed turnover.
As you must now have gathered from my postings, I am not feeling too confident about my future fish catching potential post 2013!!!
Roger
He did confirm in a later post that CC Moore used the same source - I'm sure Roger, who often looks in on here, can shed some more light on this subject
