Post by: Still Running on January 29, 2010, 07:29:01 PM
Has anyone had some leftovers for years?
Just wondering how long they will keep.

I keep them in those jars and I have them up to two seasons with no problem.

I would like to lose them .......on the fish rofla

I would think once they start to smell.  But how do you tell the difference between a good fish smell and a bad one  rofla

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but is there an expiration date on them? I don't know myself. I do know that I found an old package that has faded. All that is left is a small imprint of the logo. I'll use them, and see if they are any good.

Worse case, use the bait for catfish. I know a guy who takes rotten chicken liver, wraps it up in pantyhose, and uses that as bait.  :headscra:

As long as the bag is sealed or they are kept in the juice they should be fine. t^

I picked up  a few of those gulp jars that sell for about $20 this summer. At the end of the season I put all the gulp juice and gulp into one big jar. I know have a variety pack for this summer ;D  I think there as good as long as you keep them in the juice. I have used them and put them back into the jar to try a different style.

Are there different scents or are they all the same so they CAN be mixed together???

Yes everything is mix right now, we had a few guys come on the boat this summer with everything mixed up and it worked for them, thats where I got the idea from. Those gulp jars leak to much
