Hi All

I see that the Supercast team have split up? ( Barend and Loutjie ) having their own show now?

does anyone know why or am I missing the point

I also saw that they are now at conoflex and not supercast anymore.

Would like to know what happened that they left as loutjie and Schalk van Breda was VERY close?

yes, similar videos and so forth at conoflex. Its funny how the same great angler Loutjie now promotes conoflex 2-3 months later.

must have been something between them.

Louw left supercast a long time ago.
inhouse politics.they are still friends.
Louw then paired up with conoflex and started his own dip range with them. But most important he took his recipes with him.

Loukie was offered employment at Normark (previously Rapala VMC)

Barend resigned a short while later and joined Normark

They are definitely no longer friends and have met one another a few times in court since the split

As to why and how, leave the speculation.

It's life, people change affiliations and jobs on a regular basis. Better offers, better benefits, time for a change, better pay..... same old, same old

That move has been coming a long time now.

For some background. Louwtjie has had the company "Competition Dips" even before leaving Super Cast.

Competition dips supplied Louwtjies dips to Super Cast who distributed the dips.

He moved over to RapalaVMC where his dips under the name Signature Series were distributed by Conoflex. He made all the dips etc, etc and they merely distributed.

Due to many factors Louwtjie broke ties with Rapala VMC and is distributing his Signature Series himself.

Cutting out unnecessary middle men and supplying directly to the Retailer, so you as angler will benefit on price point without compromise of quality
