Return to fishing sees anglers snap up over 42 tonnes of bait!

AN INDEPENDENT bait company sold over 42 tonnes of particles to anglers over the course of the May bank holiday weekend.

Staffordshire firm Monster Particle ran a 50 per cent-off deal on all of its prepared baits running from Friday to Monday, but orders were so intense that the 12-strong team had to work overtime to process each one!

Monster Particle’s owner Kieron Wood tells us:

“That bank holiday has probably been our most profitable ever and we’re now running at around 80 per cent up on last year’s sales.”

According to Kieron there was no one bait that sold better than the rest, with the phone ringing off the hook from customers who wanted everything from hemp to tigers.

“With free shipping on orders over 60kg it’s easy to see why there was an order average of 60kg-100kg!” he says.

“Considering how uncertain times have been recently, it’s been a fantastic response from anglers who are still keen to enjoy their sport and support the industry,” Kieron adds.

Staff at Monster Particle had to work overtime to meet the orders from anglers over the bank holiday weekend.
