It might have come from Seabait Rod ;)

I was in the new tackle shop in Sunderland (Grangetown) the second week they opened and i witnessed a delivery of ragworm from Seab--t
of 14kg which were mush.when i spoke to the assistant he told me that they had recieved the same amount of \"Mush\" the day before and the reason the reason that the Bait was in that state was that the company used a delivery company (TN_) and that all orders were sent to a main depot (i think they said Liverpool) the day before delivery, and then (stored overnight before being sent back up north the following day.
it seems to me that the company is either very badly run or they are trying to lose custom ?
Anyway it worked because the assistant told me that the company (who have at least 1 other shop i know of in the North East) had arranged to have worm delivered from abroad (i think he said Norway) and added that it was better worm anyway.

i know a lot of the southern tackle shops get theres from holland ,but this seabait company needs taking to the wall and reported for this ,its shocking the way they have treated dealers and anglers alike .and the devious exploits should be pushed to a paper or mag .should generate some intrest

I was down Portsmouth a couple of weeks back and they have any amount of rag as the Solent is one big bed apparently. Good worm but their lug was from Holland. Not bad stuff mind. pity the second match only produced 10 fish for the 160 anglers and most of them were mackerel off a beach in November!!!

I\'ve dug at Hayling island before very near the solent & i could not believe the size & amount of rag beds (with loads of clams whilst digging) there is certainly no shortage of Ragworm in that area

Plenty of rag here as well ,as long as you can be bothered to dig it ,I personally don\'t have the time or I\'d get all my own bait myself ,mind you I\'ve only ever once complained about the bait at Frasers ,when Brian sold out and didn\'t see my order in the book .

I've used his shop since it first opened and had nothing but tip top service , anyone can miss a name in a busy book .

It only happened once and he couldn't apologise enough ,I'd recommend the shop to everyone.
