In this essay, I will be discussing the topic of “Are Frozen Boilies Better Than Shelf Life?,” and I will do my absolute best to cover as much territory as I possibly can with regard to the content of this discussion.
Well if truth be told, there isn’t actually a great deal of difference Live System
shelf life bait
is near on identical to Live System freezer bait, with the slight variation that a
shelf life bait
when produced has slightly less egg content, as a small amount is replaced with a food grade preservative.
Should I freeze boilies?

This is because preservatives are not used and so the fresh, active ingredients need to be frozen to maintain their condition So just as you would with frozen food from a super-market,
place frozen bait
that needs to be stored, straight in the freezer after purchase.
How long can you keep boilies in the freezer?
Boilies:
If possible, make-up paste or boilies the day before a trip or session and then use it immediately. Do not keep
frozen boilies
in a freezer for longer than 3-4 months and do not re-freeze bait that has previously been frozen.

Do you need to defrost bait?
Bait:
SHOULD I LET MY BAIT DEFROST IN THE BAG? No, I always find it best to defrost bait in an air-dry bag Letting them defrost in the plastic bag they came in, ensures there is still a lot of moisture around the bait, and it is this that causes the bait to go off quicker.

Air Dry Boilies: Why do you air dry boilies
A natural disinfectant. Air-drying also acts to naturally preserve your baits ; once all the moisture has been expelled, the boilies will last far longer than they would otherwise. Once they’re fully dried out, they can be stored indefinitely in air-dry sacks, on drying racks or simply in a cardboard box or two.
