I have to store my (shelf-life) bait indoors, does anyone have a good idea on how to stop the smell from getting about?
Have 20kg to store, and notice the smell seeping from the bags even though they are sealed. I have tried putting the sealed bags into vacuum bags, and for a bit I thought that had fixed it, but after a few days the smell has seeped through them as well and I can smell it again. No idea how scent can get through two bags that are fully sealed, but it has, pretty impressive really!
Thankfully it's DNA Bug which basically just smells of malty chocolate, so not unpleasant, but would still rather stop it.

You could try some air tight sealed plastic containers,I got some from B&M.Just make sure they are the good ones with a really good seal on them

In the dna bag inside an airtight bucket mate should do the trick

One of my best purchases was a professional quality Vacuum Sealer !
initially for prolonging the life of bait and by god does it do that exceptionally well !! It will solve your problem and extend the life of any bait
but also its amazing for food I make up all sorts stews ,currys ,fry ups , ready cooked steaks etc the list is endless and you just need a pan of boiling water chuck the vacuumed bags of food in to heat up without mess

Cheers guys. Could you maybe send a link for the kind of sealed container/bucket you mean?
Vacuum sealer won't work as I've already tried vacuum compression packs and the smell comes through still.

not sure what you mean by vacuum compression packs
but TRUST me a proper Vacuum sealer 100% does work I have been using them for years and years I am on my second one I wore out the first one they work by properly removing all the air creating a vacuum
thats why things cant go rotten and the bags used are heavy duty designed to be boiled in boiling water ! not some soppy little thin shyte
and I have stored some very very smelly baits and no smell what so ever

It's their name - the things designed to store clothes. Sturdy clear flat bags with a seal, connect it to a vacuum and it sucks all the air out compressing it down.

To be honest, even bait in the freezer in the bag, I can smell through the bag.
Shelf life baits, double bagged, I can smell through the plastic. I have to keep them in a cupboard or in a bucket when I top up what I have used the previous trip.
It could be worse, my Monster Crab does stink, hence why they are kept in a sealed bucket

Stick it in the loft, the temprature and darkness wont do it any harm either.

I know you love a good buy - any recommendations on Vac sealers and supply of bags?

As far as I know the only non permeable bags are nylon evidence bags used for petrol and other explosive liquids and their smell. . They are usually found in forensic supplies. They are expensive but reusable.

So completely different to what Gerry was offering as a solution.

Two different things mate
For example.
What you are talking about:- Vacuum Storage Bag
What Gerry is talking about:- Vacuum Food Sealer Roll You'd need one of these aswell:- Vacuum Sealer
Storage bags would be no good IMO

That's what i thought he was talking about, i bet your hoover smelt too.
The good thing about the proper vacuum bags is it can change the shapes of your bait if soft enough (I was using shelf life)
