Not at all nick It was a genuine question as you seem very certain ,that's all. Are there no other options that may be used? I've not anything shelf life or used preservatives in my own baits for decades and likely never will but it's always handy to pick up info just incase

I believe Potassium sorbate is legal in feed stuff for all animals. I also believe there is studies showing that potassium sorbate in the levels suggested and more can enhance growth.
The wonders of science eh?

I purchased some in their deal last year and I totally agree with Wayne,this bait is very soft so get some hard baits.

This is why there is so many things you have no experience of. You push away from what facts and science present. I've been warned against responding to you by well thought of people on this forum as aparently you troll people so this is good bye

You know what mate, it's something l like about is it being soft. So much easier to mush up into a big gloop of mish-mashed bits and bobs. Definitely buy their hardened hookbaits, that's a must 👍

Thanks for bringing the topic back on track TeeCee.
Why is it every bait thread has to get personal?
Temporary bans (or permanent if the user prefers) for anyone getting 1-on-1 (or the even more pathetic multiple-on-1 attacks)
I am not taking sides here, I don't WANT to kick anyone off...just saying this cock-swinging has been left and isn't going away, so argumentative users will be removed until it stops.
Thanks,
Karlos

I was just interested to know Viking, I don't preserve my own baits . I don't actually freeze them dithers I like to make fresh for each session to make sure they are in tip top condition every time

I prefer to do the same when I can.
My point was just that the better preserved baits of today is far from those of yore and research show that the right levels do no harm. I don't say science have all the answers but with preservatives it important to find the right levels. When highly educated people have spent a lot of time researching it I believe it can only be a good thing to learn from their findings and thus avoid throwing something in the lake that might harm the fish.

Used the Atlantic Heat in shelf-life a few years ago, it was very effective for me, soft but that's what I wanted from my bait, haven't used the fresh/freezer bait so can't say what differences there is.
There was a few comments recently about a possible drop in quality/mix?

I know Baker goes on about fresh, I've not seen it make any difference to be fair. Everything when it comes to catch a carp, there's just so many variables. Someone I know did very well on black squares of plastic as a hookbait and did very well on a well known water that it's over stocked with practically hardly any free offerings; the water in question is 140 acres.
Could we'll be worth playing around with preservatives?

Can't see the point of playing with preservation when I don't need to preserve baits though? Plus I don't want my baits lasting Tbh, I've got them so they are little more than mush after 18 or so hours under water

The way I look at it, using preserved baits is another tool in your armoury. They're very good for longer sessions, especially so in the heights of summer. Baitworks ones have been great so far.
The next time I go full wollop and do a big batch of my own baits, I think I'll have a go at doing some preserved baits, the versatility really interests me.
