Pretty much all the same. They like to draw your mind away from the word shelf life hence calling it stabilised

Exactly the same.

The term shelf life in food refers to the length of time something can be stored, where as shelf stable / ambient is the term for its catagory. so stabilised is the exact same as shelf life.

Shelf life baits are stabilised

stabilised baits have a shelf life.

if that makes sense.


The degree of preservation depends on many many factors. not as simple as a pinch of pot sorb anymore for true 12m + shelf bait. you also use things such as MPG, egg powder ( pasteurised ) etc, all to lmit any microbial growth and usually dried for longer.

I remember several people saying their shelf lifes were just dried an extra day, that wasnt true.

Just watched a video and read a bit, all looks like smoke and mirrors. They talk or write about the stabalising process but never say what the process is and no mention of preservatives so I've got a bag of nash scope squid stabalised no use by or best before dates on the bag, does this mean it will contain a high level of preservative?

Is it like the original. Smells like old Sweaty socks. That was a great bait.

From memory very similar to the original but in my mind the original had a slightly sweeter background smell. Maybe I should have bought more and tried it but as it believe it is also available in frozen that would be my preferred option.
