Dynamite source was/probably still is 100% a better fish catcher in shelf life. God knows what but it has something...

Bit like the original mainline hookbait enhancement dips
They were good at hardening hookbaits over time.

Not really, Gary hasn't been a director of Nashbait for a long, long time, he's also been part time (development only) for some time now. I also trust him as a bloke and don't believe he's personally into the bullshine, least I've always found him straight talking.

It wasnt just Gary I meant mate, all have/had a vested interest with their respective companies. Shelf life's are obviously less agro to store/ship etc so they want more people to use them than fresh baits. Good business really. Can't beat a nice fresh bait though imo

Freshly rolled, um maybe, how fresh is any boiled bait though, especially fishmeal.. Catch the fish and its near frozen in the trawler, landed and transported to processing factory, transported to distributor, sold to bait roller then on to customer. Not really fresh.

Yep. Weed, silt and coloured water it always does well.
Surely it's not the same if robin red isn't the same though?

The key is in the first part of your post
"Freshly rolled" there is always a production process pre manufacturing.
you could say that about most "fresh" food products
28 day aged beef for instance, and dry aged alot longer under controlled conditions

Both have pros and cons for me.
Using a freezer bait is for that reason, optimum freshness and use within a few months. The texture is generally softer and for me digestibility is everything, basemix makeup obviously
Shelf life baits have no doubt come on a long way, I think they are brilliant for baiting up and keeping silver fish at bay but you have to question how long they have been sat on said shelf, things denature and lose nutriants

But assuming they use a preservative the ingredients cost of a shelf life is more and when they said it they sold for the same? Doubt it comes out much different overall.

Lots of meats improve when aged as you know, fish however deteriorates as soon as its killed, I'm lucky to live next to the sea and can buy straight from the boat caught same day. Do bait companies know how old/fresh the products they are rolling into their fresh bait is? Is it traceable back to its origin?
