Since Sweden does not have a recognised Bait farm supplying match needs (Maggots , Casters, Pinkies and Worms) then its down to the importers of the bait to look after it and care for it through its life expectancy ready for sale.
Keeping bait is always a challenge and when you have experience of bait care then you have the best quality that could be sold in the country , in this case its Sweden. However sometimes the supplier can possibly let you down and errors with bait care can be incurred.
One particular company even 'makes' its own casters which takes care and inspects the bait continuously all the time. Of course you can buy ready pre-packed but fresh is always best.
When it comes to Bloodworm and Joker then you are reliant on a company that has looked after Bloodworm and Joker for the last 30 years as its an extensive job continuously filtering and cleaning to have the best quality available .
Experience of bait of all types comes from communication so a certain tackle shop is able to gain influence and expertise from recognised icons in fishing within the UK , like Kevin Ashurst , Lanes Bait and Brierley Baits of England over the last 25 years.
As the match world in Sweden becomes smaller (except for Feeder matching) then the competition for bait supply becomes aggressive with pricing to attract the customer to purchase. Its known that some shop/company pricing would appear not to be affective to good trading and profits look almost zero, why would that happen!? So it Is hoped that other tackle outlets are selling within the legal framework of Sweden , we hope so . Even other sources of bait supply on odd occasions from individuals need to know that importing in bait without proper paperwork is an offence and is counter active to all the other tackle shops in the country.
It is important that all the tackle trade in Sweden is helped by you the anglers whether it is Matches , pleasure angling in the warmers months and ice fishing in the colder months. We realise that products are purchased outside Sweden and that is the new wave of shopping for many different goods also as companies like AMAZON for example benefit . This is the way of the world thus the town centres suffer with closure as they are unable to compete .......sadly the fishing tackle trade will also suffer and if it diminishes then what have you left to continue with ?
SWEDISH TACKLE TRADE NEEDS YOU !!!!!
