Wonder what the shelf life/use by date is? Got caught out with this on a sack of Halibuts years ago. Was using them to pre-bait a swim and half of them floated! Turns out they were past their use by date-I assume the high oil content had led to oxidisation? elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's probably worth waiting until we are allowed out again, also I should think once the weather warms up these will sell quicker giving you a longer life hopefully might be worth asking though? , I only found that out the other day lol I was reading something and I found out Pellets had a shelf life, I didn't even realise I've still got half a binful of carp Pellets they might be floaters by now 😂 Pete Springate's Guns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 I emailed the company last night,this batch have a shelf life til July /September, he said they shouldn't really go off but they may lose some of the vitamins, I would probably use them by then if we were allowed out play 😢 Pete Springate's Guns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted February 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2021 New batches in April, that will have a 10-12 month shelf life on them if that helps 👍 If I need some before though I think I can use them before September(subject to an ease in restrictions by the bafoon in the chair) 😢 Pete Springate's Guns 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck a mixed handful in , some sink , some waft , some rise up to the surface where your ( Elmos' ) artfully presented surface bait is waiting to be gulped down . 😁 elmoputney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck a mixed handful in , some sink , some waft , some rise up to the surface where your ( Elmos' ) artfully presented surface bait is waiting to be gulped down . 😁 A very worthwhile tactic anyway, some smaller sized pellets in a batch often do float until they have taken on water and break the water surface tension. I use the method on Bromeswell regularly to get fish right into the margins, then fish a free lined bait on the surface hanging off the rod tip. It is where a nice brown trimmed pop-up really scores... crusian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutch Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 The lads on my lake have used them for quite some time, the fish that were stocked a couple years ago were feed these at the farm they came from. I really like the look of the Master pellets the profile stacks up pretty well for all year round use. elmoputney, yonny and Pete Springate's Guns 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted May 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 I've just bought 25kg of bream resistant Aller aqua pellets, 17mm AP halibut 49% protien 22%oil they look pretty great to me It says they can stay whole for 48 hours, nuisance resistant size, I had a eureka moment and spent probably 20 quid more than I planned too on pellets 😁 but I thought the carp are more likely to get to eat them so it was worth it 🤔 yonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmoputney Posted May 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Shipping seems good from bulk feed supplies parcelforce24 should be arriving tomorrow and free 👍 A company that delivers bait promptly and free is a good company in my eyes 👍 Blakes, retro, and hopefully now these can be relied on for a good free service 👍 Monster particles let me down I don't forget 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
