I have no option to store bait in a freezer due to family and space restrictions. Could anyone recommend me a high quality stabilised boilie. It generally fish for a bite at a time really and only ever catapult a few over two rods, fish for a while then move on if I feel the need to and only ever do overnight sessions.
Cheers

There's a few manufacturers now, shelfies are now pretty good compared to the ones from a few years ago. I'd be looking at DNA or Baitworks for starters, but there's loads out there. Perhaps pick a manufacturer close to you to avoid postage costs.

The A baits are highly recommended here.
DNA are good. Mate uses bug (im a freezer man) and no marked diff in catches. Great service too.

Cheers for the replies lads. Some good options to look at there

Also consider vac sealing (rather than buying baits with preservative). . . reduces freezer space. Also keeps bait fresh in the fridge for an age if freezer is not an option. . .
You could also go down the air-dry / salt curing route - depends how rodent free your shed/garage is. . .

Trent Baits' Freshwater Shrimp and SAS Squid are good in stabilised.

Trent Baits or RG Baits, both really good shelfies.

For short sessions and small patches of bait I'd seriously look at CC Moore Pro Stim liver. I've been using it for this purpose mainly because it's readily available where I live near the factory.
It's really pungent and has a paste like texture straight out the bag even in shelf life, in my head making it perfect for this type of fishing. I've also never felt the need to cover it in expensive liquids because it breaks down so fast in the water giving off attraction anyway.
Isnt my choice for all types of fishing I do but short sessions over small quantities of boiles like you describe I think it's spot on.

I did well on the artic crab acouple years ago, not sure why I never bought it again. All there baits produce fish and cover most boilie types from what I remember.

Swapped from DNA freezer baits to shelf life many years ago and can't say I've noticed a difference in quality or catch results.
Been using bug shelf for a few years now

ABS for me, used a few of their baits now and all have been superb in stabilised.
