as i'm learning can someone explain the steps for preparing Mainline Freezer range boilies for a session and can you re-freeze any left over?
i've heard to take out of freezer just before going to the lake, then put in air bag and hang on tree etc... but how long after hanging can you start using them?
obviously i understand weather conditions affect this, but what am i looking for to know when they are ready?

Just take them out of the freezer and use them, no need to do anything more than that

Hi. There's a couple of different approaches
1. Take the baits frozen, use them straight from the bag. If on a longer session then put them into an air dry bag so they don't go mushy in the plastic bag they are supplied in. Then either refreeze what you don't use or air dry them.
2. Put the frozen baits into a bucket. Glug them in a liquid of your choice. This will be drawn into the baits as they defrost. Then just re freeze what you don't use.
Don't get too hung up on it. They thaw out quickly in the water and if you are putting them out with a throwing stick then frozen baits can be an advantage

I generally only use air dry bags on longer sessions, up to 48 hours there's no real need as long as they aren't kept in direct sunlight. Liquids and oils added can help prolong the life of bait in a sealed bucket, temperature can affect this as said below. I always add a bit of liquid now, in a bucket and if any Bait left when I'm done, put it in a freezer bag back at home and freeze it.
It can be made quite complicated with what you see online, but keep it simple till your confident, then go from there.
This is the same for all frozen bait, not just mainline

you have to leave them in the bag till they change colour, white, green whatever floats your boat... that is the latest carpy edgy thing to do...

Use straight from the bag as with all boilies. Too much glug this, special mix that these days! If you're using a good boilie it needs nothing added. For extra attraction, cut some in half.
