They are even better now than when you first purchased them Andy. When they lose the smell on the outside to your nose as you are describing... That's when they have really kicked off inside. If you place one of them into a glass of water for five minutes, it will explode, it will smell like a new one.
For the S2 & GPB1 especially, at 18 months old, they will be properly ripe now.
100% use them exactly as they are, do not add anything to them whatsoever.

I'll echo what others have said, the older they are the better. I was catching some special fish on S2's that were 8 years old a while back so I wouldn't worry at all. So confident in the age theory I made sure I stocked up on GPB1/2 18 months ago and they are sitting in a dark cupboard doing their thing for when I need them.

Mark, do you have any S2 PINK bottom baits ready?

Another chunk from FishOn Joe's 'session of a lifetime' just before Xmas at Ashbury fisheries. I don't even know exactly what he had, work have been getting tagged in when the shop has been posting the photos over Xmas. But he's clearly had it right off. That's at least 3 x 30+ so far though.
GPB1 13mm balanced over the shops particle and crumbed Krill again. Another lovely one.

You're very welcome. All orders from our final two deliveries before Christmas had at least one tub of freebies added. We gave away more than £2400 worth of free hook baits as Christmas presents before Xmas.
The lovely traders at Ladbrokes paid, you should really thank them. As people on my personal social media know, I had nine Ladbrokes accounts (among others) in extended family members names closed/heavily restricted at the same time in early November. They don't know how much I won though. I actually won a pretty life changing sum of cash over a six week period from those nine accounts. Mainly when I was laid up for a month virtually dying from Covid. I should try dying of Covid more often

We often get asked by new customers, why our white or pink S2 are a bit 'dull' coloured inside the tub. This photograph below, is something none of you have ever seen before. These pink hook baits below, are all at various points of the curing process this morning. The first row of trays up from the fan, the darkest ones, are finished pink S2, drying after their final go. The second and third row of trays up from the fan are finished pink F1. The tray under the step that is by far the brightest colour, are pinks that have not gone through any process yet. They have just been boiled.
That is what colour your hook baits really are. This is what colour they will be after a couple of hours in the water. Our curing process leaves a stain on the outside of the baits. This gives the white & the pink S2 a dull colouration inside the tub. Everything drying on these trays is exactly the same colour in reality. It's only the stain on the outside from the curing process that changes this. This stain washes off to reveal the true colour.

Steve the fireman below only done 27 nights all year. Work and a young family.
3 x 40's, with two personal bests among what he caught from a competitive syndicate in Berkshire... Fished by household names, and anglers with far more time than he could ever dream of. Don't matter with a bit of good angling and a tub of S2.

I did not realise yesterday when I posted this.
This 42lber was Wade's new PB. He's not fished all summer, he got married to a beautiful young woman earlier in the year. That was his first trip out in donkeys because of it.
A Christmas PB. Seriously, well done Wade!

Will, 2nd ever night on Rockford last night. His first night was 20 years ago when he did not have our hook baits. Well done mate.
