Hello there my name is Des Taylor and although you have read lies telling you different from a cetain Hungarian called Kovacs I am still the owner of SBS Baits. Let me answer Kovacs letter on this forum.
1) Kovacs did go into a contract with me to buy the Know How for SBS Baits in Europe and yes he did come to my factory for 2 days and left with a very limited knowledge of how to make SBS Baits. He said on this forum he took all the machinery to make the baits when the facts are we sold him an old boilie machine that we rarely used and a large boiler we kept all the gear we used on a daily basis for our English market, ask yourself would we sell everything so we had nothing to satisfy our English market, of course not.
2) Kovacs talk about quality which is a joke when you consider he knew virtually nothing about boilies at all when he arrived in England and his partner Peter from the Czech Republic knew even less but after 2 days these 2 young men thought they knew it all, they knew nothing except how to produce DVD's to satisfy Kovacs ego and make plans to steal my company.
3) The soluble bait situation I simply don't know what Kovacs is talking about for we produced solubles for Coco at Senzor in Romania before we produced them for Kovacs. The solubles Kovacs is making I have never seen and do not know how he makes them or indeed have no interest to he certainly never told me how to make anything. The only thing I ever purchased from him was a Romania Product he called "Corn Milk" but we stopped using this because in the containers it went solid in cold weather which is not good for an all season boilie but with Kovacs limited knowledge on baits he would not pick up on this.
4) When we signed the contract there were certain "secret" products that could only be brought from the CSL Company that is owned by me, Kovacs has not brought any ingredients from me for 2 years so what is he putting in the baits instead? You can buy a packet with SBS on and you can wear badges on your hats with SBS on but SBS means only one thing the quality of the ingredients which makes it such a good fish catcher.
5) He even throws in a cheap shot and anohter lie about me being housted by Angling Times in England. I wrote in Angling Times for 20 years winning Angling Writer of the year on 2 occasions and Angling Personality of the year and I decided to leave to give me more time to finish the 2 books I am writing and spend more time focused on my businesses. Richard Lee the editor of Angling Times has asked me on a number of occasions since leaving to start writing again a weekly column. Second only to Legend Dick Walker I have wrote for Angling Times longer than any other angler in history and still have a great relationship with the paper, it offends me greatly that Kovacs writes such digusting lies.
6) Having paid the deposit on the contract to buy SBS Baits Europe I foolishly allowed Kovacs to register the Trade Name after he had done that he refused to pay me anymore money, I believe now he had planned to do this from the start. I luckily asked Kovacs to allow me to use the sbsbaits.com for a while longer through the tranisistional period and when he refused to pay me any more money I refused to give him the domain.
7) Kovacs implies because I am English I thought I could get a deposit and take the company back. The truth is this Hungarian believes because he has paid a deposit which is less than half the contractual price he thinks he is the owner and he is not. English people do not work like that and my many European friends will tell you who is the honest man Kovacs or Taylor?
I will end by saying Kovacs at this point in time owns the Trade Mark in Europe but that is in dispute because he has not fulfilled his contract to pay the full amount. Yes you have been stopped from buying SBS Baits from England in Romaina for the moment for the Romanian Court only knows half the story. If you buy SBS Baits from Hungary you are buying bait that is not the same ingredients as SBS Baits from England it is a different bait completley.
It is sad that such a great idea between me and Kovacs has come to this and anglers in Europe are now suffering in their supply of SBS Baits I feel sorry about that but that is not my fault.
