rag rip off

Had this a few times last year in Hartlepool. Make them wrap the rag in front of you on the counter. Never had bad worm since making the shop do this. Dont put up with being ripped off.

Charlie on the friarage always shows me the worms before he wraps them. I got £7 worth last time down and they were spot on-put it this way to dig them would have been hard work.

I always just quickly open them up when im leaving an take them back if im not happy- plain and simple. I think its better to show that your not happy with the quality of the bait rather than post it on here where they might not read it.

I could not agree more Phil.

Everyone is different and some people dont like to complain and just "take what they are given" sort of thing...same as in a restaurant...some people just dont like to complain because of feeling embarrassed.

I must admit i for one bought some rubbish bait a few years ago and didnt bother complaining as i felt a bit embarrassed going back in.

Now (older) i wouldnt hesitate to take it back and ask for a refund.

I think some people who sell bait do take liberties by selling rubbish what is totally sub standard.

Best policy is to take it back,get your money back and dont go back ever again.

Dont feel "shan" taking it back like i did once...thats how they get away with it

try SEA BAIT at woodhorn they are ment to be alright get your worms there and fish the beach beside it

[codbiter]

I bought some lug off a well known dealer in Hartlepool, lately it was wrapped when I got it, put it in the fridge when much later I took it out and looked at it, it was very poor, supposed to be fresh bait, must of been kept a few days,...my mistake...wont use them again unless absolutely desperate.. trouble is you put your trust in people and they often take the ******.

some don't want to or like to complain for fear of even worse bait the next time they go in , or get refused when there is good bait in and he is keeping for his mate, allegedly there is a shop in the north east who has a top shelf and a bottom shelf for bait ,so the angler who is stuck in area with one shop or not able to dig bait for one reason or another is at times up S*** creek

I think this has run it's course now so I am going to lock it.
