How do you store boilies when going abroad? (8 posts / 1,555 views)

Off to France for the first time in a while and wondering what everyone does in terms of storage of frozen boilies?

Try and keep them frozen as long as possible to air dry them and rehydrate when at the lake? Or something else?

To be honest though I'm tempted to buy from the lake I'm going to as the cost is quite competitive.

Cheers

What Jimbo says. 1 KG backs with half a pint of salt in each.

Utilise my favourite liquids - Hydrolysates!

A thin glistening coat will semi preserve then and when dry adding a little more can't hurt. in fact the more you can add the better.

I recommend sticky calanus ( also available from AA resold) and liquid liver, again the both those purveyors are decent.

500ml / 1ltr of each would be plenty to look after about 20kg of boilies

You've got a couple of option.
As mentioned salt and hydrolysates do their thing.

Buy repacking them in a sealed vacuum bag, you save some space and they preserve a little better.

At the end of the day, if the bait at the lake isn't too expensive, chances are its frequently used by other anglers, so fish will be used to it, makes sense to buy it there and save any hassle
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
