Just wondering how long a pre made pva bag would last for if stored in a bucket?

I've actually wrapped mine up in foil and stored them in a freezer as well but as for a bucket definitely months

Not worried about condensation when you bring them out?

Doesn't melt them although it works a little better with mesh bags I have done it with pva bags too but it does work

. . .if you're storing for more than a few days you should be more worried about how long it takes to melt when you lob it out . . .!

Overthinking this. Some come in resealable bags or put them in one. Good quality bags seem to last indefinitely if stored in a bag with an airtight seal and the air squeezed out. Never had a problem.

I regularly make up 60-80 bags in summer, several times over and as braders says they last months and months. Better with pellet as crumbed boilie they tend to go floppy a bit due to the moisture content in the crumb etc. I'd rather have a shed load made up than faff about making them up on the bank.

Yes solid PVA bags with leads in. I think I was part way through here.

I use 1.75 oz and 3.5 oz in line leads.




Here's a demo of one of my bags with the pva nugget included:

Fair play - i think i'm doing well if i have 6 tied up! might have to start using the pva nugget though, looks effective
