WHY OUR SHELF-LIFE BAITS ARE SO EFFECTIVE?
The amount of long time Nutrabaits anglers who were staunch freezer baits users that have now made the switch over to shelf-life’s has been amazing to see, why is this?, quite simply our shelf life’s have the same ingredients and liquid packages as our matching freezer baits.
During repeated trials the results time and time again have been equal, so the convenience of using shelf-life’s wins hands down for many. Also the fact we steam our baits which retains the key amino profiles of the baits has taken our shelf life baits to an all new level of quality.
So what preservatives do we use in our shelf life baits, the simple answer is the same human food grade preservatives that are used in the food you eat daily, the same preservative that are used in bread, biscuits, pastries etc. also the same preservative that’s used in the manufacture of feed pellets and many of the liquid foods that companies retail. Being totally odourless, tasteless and water soluble so leaches out once submerged in water.
Why do we still call them shelf life’s ?
Simple reason is we don’t do silly marketing gimmicks to con anglers into thinking by calling them by other names such as stabilised will somehow make people believe there not shelf life’s.
The only difference is shelf-life baits are dried over 24hrs to remove 90% of the moisture content so are slightly firmer but once submerged in water they quickly return to being the same. Freezer baits need only 8hrs drying after steaming before freezing ready for despatch.
So the choice comes down to you, the convenience of shelf-life baits and being able to leave a few bags in the back of your car for pre-baiting etc. or sticking with freezer baits.
