Won't make much difference which you buy, although getting one with a low vac setting is good for doing freshly rolled boilie (to prevent squashing) . The cut to length rolls are far more cost effective than the bags too

Thanks Ian, just wondered if strength of vacuum had effect on how long things would last if you see what I mean.....

I ended up getting the Bonsenkitchen Vacuum Sealer after a couple of recommendations on here,
And used it for the first time today
Had Some bait delivered this morning, And sealed up 15 kilos
And so far really happy with the results, and it definitely saves space in the freezer, the bags you get with it are just the right size,
Unfortunately I ordered some spare vacuum bags, but forgot to check the size, so narrower that the ones supplied, but still ok to use,
So far very very happy
Time will tell, but hopefully all should be fine

If I was to buy another one I'd definitely get one with a built in cutter.

I only do a kilo at a time as that is what I would generally use at one time, probably half that.
As they come in rolls you can make the bags as big as you want. I generally use the length (or width which ever way you want to look at it) of the machine and that gives me plenty of space for a kilo. You could no doubt get more in there though.
For me its all about getting the bag/roll into the sealer correctly for it to seal. Filling it up too much can make that a bit of a pain.

Anyone know if freshly cooked freezer bait would last a week before starting to turn if vacuum packed after cooling?

yep no problem at all mate easy peasy
when you go in the supermarket and buy stuff with a 3 month or more date on it how many times have you opened only to find inside a vacuumed packed food package ??
there is your answer things cant go bad in a vacuum anywhere near the times it will go bad normally

So feasibly this could be done to keep freshly rolled bait, rather than freezing it? Week or two in a fridge..?

totally depends on what temperature it will be in for the week buddy
If in cooler Box / bag then yes - have used this method lots of times.
If at room temp or more id doubt it would last a week (although i havent tried it).

Vac packing also a great way to replace air in a bait with some liquid.
