elmoputney Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Hi all I used to keep my pop ups and hookbaits in the fridge but I read somewhere this is bad? I seem to have some nibblers going for them in the garage and the fridge would help solve that part of the issue Is it OK to keep them in the fridge or bad?

framey Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 I keep my extra ones in the freezer this normally consists of me buying them in different colours and sizes and mixing them all up into 1 pot which comes with me elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusian Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I have an old , unplugged , chest freezer which is cold , and more importantly sealed from furry critters . All my bait goes in there , and it doesn't seem to affect it . 😃 elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted February 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I just spotted I can turn the fridge right off so that will stop the little bleeders That's not an excessive hookbait range, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B B Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I don’t mind keeping my hook baits in the cold better than them getting to warm tho. I keep my particles and pop ups in a metal bins with a lid in the shed..... just keep a lookout for mice with a tin opener ! carpyian, finchey, elmoputney and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B B Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I had a painting job near a tackle shop that was sadly closing down i bought my first proper carp rods from there Des Taylor 21/2 lb maver must be well over 20years ago. Still use them for floater rods. Anyway the Mrs says you been buying gear again nar love I says painted a couple of ceilings and he gave me the rods lol Defo innocent till proven guilty 😉 carpyian, crusian and elmoputney 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted February 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I've been reckless lately I left my retro baits invoice out "£90 on boilies she said" I said well I did buy quite a lot so they will last, all the time thinking she hasn't noticed the pop ups, wafters bait spray and 2kg of 12mmers 😅 She also saw my receipt from yesterday I said a lot of that was the kids rods and bits 😂 crusian and yonny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did get into the habit of going into my fishing tackle and freezer and stealing bait if she could; ready mades, particles, tiger nuts. I have to lock my internal doors as well as the front door if I go out. I make some of my own pop-ups, the Garlic and Megaspice ones, they just get air dried and stored in the tub in my bait bag with the rest of the pop-ups. I don't bother with keeping them in the fridge. elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
