Oh dear someone is going to court... I hear !
He has threatened sue a few folk but wasnt impressed when it was pointed out he could end up in the dock for stealing recipes , no lie if your scroll through the facebook page you will find his appology to the guy who gave him some help that he claimed as his own he then promptly set up a members only page to stop people questioning him . I have distanced myself from what has gone on as it became nasty to the point of physical threats been made against people .Also one of his main consultants left and and told all to few who he knew would listen and also appologised for his blindness

Seems to me that there is a lot of hearsay, innuendo, conjecture,and some very sour grapes being vented for some reason, if what is being inferred is to have any standing then proof is required .
what is said on the forum could be construed as fact by those reading it and the moderators should keep close watch on this.
The answer to me is if you find the bait works for you all well and good if not don't buy it if you have a complaint about the product make it to the company not on a forum,to make unfounded or unsubstantiated statements is unwarranted.
I have no axe to grind with anyone and no interest in three foot twitch baits other than to buy some bait from the
company if i find it dont work for me i wont buy it again, but to try and blacken a persons company, name ,product,with nothing more than hearsay seems rather more than petty and snide.

I would love to know what the history is here, why some are willing to back this guy so strongly, while others are equally strongly against him. I must say I am surprised that some who apparently have no personally experience of the guy are willing to do so, despite the mass of controversy surrounding him. To buy bait from this guy in those circumstances is surely an extremely open minded and generous thing to do, even more so in light of some of the extraordinary claims regarding the quality (or lack of) of this bait.
I would like to think that I would be as generous spirited in the circumstances, but I have to admit that my money was too hard earned to risk it without more long term proof of the fish catching qualities of the bait. Obviously no bait company would ever get off the ground if everyone thought that way...but I will leave the risk and testing to the young guns still earning a wage
Of course, it is just possible that free/reduced price bait has something to do with the intensity of the small band of very loud close supporters...and perhaps the hope of joining them is the motive driving certain others. Cant blame them I suppose...if it's free, you can hardly lose out, even if it turns out it isn't much cop
We shall see.
Cheers, Dave.

No free bait is given by 3FT. testers get a small discount which when postage is added means the price is probably a little more than they could buy the equivalent weight of bait for in a tackle shop.
