We also attend every Anglers World Holidays Roadshow and set up our stand to show the angling public our Products and, more importantly, make ourselves available to answer any questions. Over a period of time it seems that the same questions tend to crop up. Of all the questions that my colleagues and I have been asked ONE stands out “Does this-or-that product really work, or would we be just as well using a bag of plain crumb?”. My reaction to this, which many would expect to be defensive, is simply “What do you use at the moment?”. The usual reply is “I’ve tried them all really, yours and other brands, but I don’t seem to do any better than my mates”. I usually ask them “What do your mates use?”. Their reply is often, “This stuff and some other that I can’t pronounce” we both usually start to grin at each other at this point and I ask “are you mixing it up right?”. Their reply, “I don’t know!!!!!!!” Have you ever bought a tin of paint and swore that it was a different colour in the shop! Did you know that some colours dry two shades lighter! Knowledge is power and ignorance is bliss and anglers the world over have the same problems relating to their performance on the bank…What can they blame? Who can they blame? At this point I shall apologise to every angler that has ever picked up a bag of Whizzo and thought ‘what’s this for?’ I accept that some of the names of our mixes are a little odd to say the least. C.R.A.P. for instance doesn’t sound very pleasant and G.B.H sounds a bit aggressive too. But, (here comes my defence) we chose those names for a reason, we didn’t want to patronise our customers, sure we could call a product Super Catch 2000 but it wouldn’t catch you any more fish would it! Over two years ago we realised that there were that many products available on the market that we needed to simplify our naming, so we started to be more specific and more honest with our products name. Since then we have brought out a whole range of products e.g. Stench-for tench, Pike n’ Predator, Corn feed, Irish Bag-up and Carp feed. I hope that this policy has helped many of those confused anglers amongst you to make easy decisions when it comes to choosing the best mix for the job. If you still harbour the question “Does this-or-that product really work or would we be just as well using a bag of plain crumb?” my answer will still be the same. I do realise that you are spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a mix, but that problem will never go away as long as you are unsure about the nature of groundbaiting itself. If any of you reading this article has a question, then fire away! It is in my interest to make you as aware as possible about the benefits of Groundbait too.Get Typing!Whizzokev
