Shelf-life Boilies
The development of the Essential range of boilies in shelf life means that anyone wishing to use these baits in the UK or on the continent, will have a massive edge over other baits being used.
We've lost count of the number of fishery owners that have contacted us to say that anglers who turn up with these baits always seem to have far superior catches to those using 'standard' shelf life boilies. Carp have the ability to recognise a good quality food bait and they don't get any better than this exclusive range of baits that have been developed over a period of 39 years! There are ive fantastic options available within our shelf-life range, namely Shellfish B5, GS10 (Garlic & Salted Cream), Black Snail, Creamseed, and K5. Resuts have suggested they perform equally as well as our freezer boilies and they have been responsible for some truly staggering results from around the globe.
Shelf life boilie advantages
Our Essential resident 'Globetrotter' Merv Pennell with one of his many big carp caught on our range of Shelf life boilies. Merv, amongst so many other anglers, openly admits that our shelf life range offer a massive edge over 'standard' shelf life boilies and would not use anything else.
Of course the big advantage about the use of shelf life boilies can be summed up in just one word – convenience! And this is the key word you need to bear in mind. Good quality freezer baits are fantastic for that long term baiting campaign, yet can be problematic for extended UK sessions and of course when fishing on the continent.
So would we recommend substituting freezer baits with shelf life boilies for long term bait application? In short, no we wouldn’t! Simply because this will not offer any advantages at all, however, we can honestly say that for those trips outside the UK or even those extended sessions within the UK where it would be difficult to keep freezer baits fresh, this highly successfull range of shelf life boilies tick all the boxes - and more!
So many anglers strongly believe these are the best quality shelf life boilie available ANYWHERE in the world! Confidence and convenience, such key words for success.
Top Tips
1) Avoid cheap and cheerful shelf life boilies like the plague. I can think of few things worse to ruin your chances of success than poor quality boilies that have been ‘over-flavoured’ to mask preservative odours!
2) If the manufacturer states there are no preservatives in them, ask him to tell the truth!
3) Beware of semi-soft shelf life boilies. These are likely to be overloaded with preservatives. We tend to rely on reduced moisture levels, which in turn creates a 'tougher' bait, but with far less preservative.
