incQbait Team Members wanted — PLEASE, READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU EMBARRASS YOURSELF - this is blunt.
From the very top. The team I have are absolutely a good bunch of lads, really they are. Very different, as different as people can be, understanding, knowledgeable, fun & humble and not hangers on. There are no favourites, but, if they were a fighter squadron, they’ve got your back and, importantly, not full of BS.
The last part of that statement has been the crux of this particular article/ad, some people have been outright full of that. Its been an ongoing thing over a 10 year period, they stroll in, give it large, they exit.
But still, if you need a product trying, the gamble of bringing on the unknown is inevitable.
With that said, IncQbait is looking for more anglers to join the team. 2 -3 for now
Read that again carefully. .2-3 - first come first serve
If your immediate reaction to this post is “Cheap bait?”, “Free clothing?” or “What do I get?” then you just failed the first and easiest test — because incQbait doesn’t need freeloaders.
So, let me save you a lot of time.
I am looking for anglers to join us that don’t require a mass following or constant attention. You do not need hundreds of Facebook mates who comment “well done mate” under every fucking fish photo like a sheep on crack. You do not need to catch a 30+ every session. And you certainly do not need to pretend you are a bait scientist because you once watched somebody crack an egg into semolina on a YouTube vid - and you definitely won’t be related to the usual convoy of freebie-sniffing chancers who appear every time the words ‘team members wanted‘ hits a social media platform.
But, you do need to know carp fishing — just, plain and simple carp fishing. A bit of knowledge about watercraft, location, pressure, seasonal adaptation, baiting and rig decisions, observations and general decision making. The sort of stuff that requires thought, as opposed to just picking ‘the swim’ because such ‘n’ such was rinsing the lake from it last week.
I would ideally like anglers who can contribute useful bait feedback if possible, not just talk it up, but, useful bankside observations, useful angling methods, useful discussion and some useful experience. You don’t need to know it all, not at all, that’s why it’s a team - we share, we learn.
Notice a pattern there? Useful.
And that brings this neatly to I/we do not want. I do not want those that want imitations of other peoples bait. If your best seller is “You should do one like Brand X…”, “Company Y makes this…” or “You need to copy what they use…” followed by “I know a great recipe that smashed this water up…”, really you do? so why are you not using it now??
IncQbait is not here to regurgitate somebody else’s regurgitated idea for the comfort of anglers scared of anything unfamiliar. We are not building cloned bait for the cloned mindset. Original thinking is the entire point. Anglers bang on about having an edge, yet use the same bait as the guy in the next swim. So if the concept of innovation gives your arse a headache, and the possibility that you might blank next session on our new ‘test bait’, then we are really not for you - Ciao
And while I’m bulldozing, I do not want drama queens, bitchers, doubters, sulkers, liars, WhatsApp warriors, or those types who join a team purely to question members they have never even met. If your hobby is gossiping in side messages, or behaving like a stroppy child - be gone, we have seen it all.
I would like decent, friendly day to day people. People who can have a laugh. People who can disagree without getting sand in their flange. People who understand that a team is built by adding value, not dragging your miserable personality around like a wet sack of maize.
To simplify things for the terminally hard of understanding:
If you are after free bait — no.
If you are solely after discounts — no.
If you are after status because nobody listens to you at home — no.
If you are argumentative, negative, dispensing wisdom and opinion without example — no.
If you expect a back hander of bait, as you don’t get paid for another week — absolutely fucking no
incQbait wants anglers who can fish, think, observe, communicate, and behave like normal human beings. That should not be a too high of a bar. Yet somehow in carp fishing it resembles an Olympic qualifying round
So if you are one of the few with some bankside knowledge, certainly common sense, team spirit and a personality that doesn’t make people recoil, then chuck me a mail at jay@incQbait.com with some details, a bit about yourself, age, how long you have fished for carp, any pics, recent ones are usually best.
If this post offended you, or made you mutter “miserable bastard”… then, good, you know exactly what I’ve outlined…
…but for the few, the door is open and things await…
