I regularly defrost S7 boilies take them to the lake then return any unused to the freezer for use again, they have always been good to go next time around and fish still love them 👍.

If mould free, then re-freeze. I'd have no concerns personally.
Thanks for the reply's chaps....ive not been out fishing for a few weeks....seeds planted with the fun prevention officer and will wait for the “I don't fancy doing anything this weekend do you wanna go fishing” and the stuff will be packed before she finishes the sentence.... I generally put y surplus bait in the lake in my few spots unless there is other anglers on the water then I feel this is bad etiquette if they are fishing near by and will re-freeze once and use them next time out or use them for my salt cured baits.....

It could be worse. My freezer conked out whilst I was on holiday due to the heat and I got back to find a freezer full of mouldy bait. Threw out 27.5kg, including 15kg of Hydra K I was saving for a holiday.

Don't worry they will be vacuum packed this weekend and in future all new baits will be vacuum packed in 2kg bags

Good to know. Can fit more in the freezer too I guess. Just need to get a vacuum packer . Would it preserve shelf life as well?

Mmm, lovely. I wouldn't be too bothered about the meat, was gutting throwing away my bait though.

Wouldn't do them any harm. I have had vacuum packed baits defrost and be left out for a week, opened them up and they looked and smelt as they did when delivered fresh, just dont leave them in the sun.
Soft bait will misshapen slightly but reshape once you open the bag slightly, great for forcing liquids too.
I bag mine up 2KG at a time so I know exactly what's been used each session and what's left, bags are reusable too

Mine always end up in my glug bucket and when I have the time and around 5kgs it's used for pre baiting a week before I go.
