by Elie Godsi If I were to ask you to come up with the ‘ultimate’ test for a new carpbait - like Shaun’s Liver B8 - what would it look like? Maybe you would fish that bait on one rod alongside your other baits and compare your captures?

“Shaun, can you tell our readers what your company has been up to over the past 12 months?”

Leading up to 2008 we had supplied bait direct from our website www.questbaits.com and purposely kept the baits in just two shops. The Tackle Box in Dartford Kent and Walkers of Trowell in Nottingham, the shop I had worked in for 25 years prior to leaving to set this business up.
We have been absolutely delighted with the response from the shops after doing a mini nationwide presentation tour. Our baits have been accepted with open arms and the sales so far have been truly staggering considering the time of the year. (more…)
