jules007 Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 I am looking for a decent shelf life bait, the plan is to get on a bait that is proven to work and then stick with it on both rods pretty much, i cant do freezer bait, so what would you guys suggest looking at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 The Trent Baits shelfies are v good. They're only partially "shelfied" in that they have very low levels of preserves/stabilisers. Unopened they last a year, once the bag is opened they'll last 2 months. Trent took years getting these just right (a couple of us on here almost gave up waiting for them) but the wait was worth it. I use the Freshwater Shrimp but you see people raving about most of their recipes. crusian, kevtaylor and elmoputney 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 I use innovate baits shelf life nowadays reaper nut mix has been my go to for the last couple of years, they are also decent, I think you might find shelf life have come on a long way in recent years, I'm converted now tbh love the simplicity you get with shelf life, just tip em in a bucket and off you go, None of that defrosting malarkey.

framey Posted October 15 Report Share Posted October 15 Most brands will do a shelf life nowadays but it isn’t difficult to drown a freezer bait with glycerine and turn them yourself. or even salt them abs baitworks dna quest baits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a new bait coming out soon LT, although I am not sure if it will be in a shelf life version. The Nutty Bait has been doing me well this year.

jules007 Posted October 15 Author Report Share Posted October 15 Guys thanks for the replies i have looked at the Trent baits and could be a good call, a load on the lake swears by them, i did wonder about Kent particles they used to get a good review but i think i need to drop on a half decent bait and get it established in the lake yonny and elmoputney 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate, a bit firmer than the frozen baits. Perfect for the stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
