 I quite like the look of new Dynamite boilies Fresh Fish Mussel & Oyster and the restyle Marine halibut bollies I bet they will be good bait for the river in the new season if there is any water left in it.

.JPG) Hi Jack Pike BA, I have used there marine halibut boillies and for what your paying you may as well buy there pellets.I have had some good chub and barbel on there hi-attract boillie range with the best results on the spicy prawn/shrimp and the crab/squid(dark purple one's).Also on there spicy chicken one's as well.

 just bought some myself and am planning to use them at rother valley in the next few weeks with the write up they have had they should work a treat! im a big fan of spicey chicken range and the wafters have helped me bag some nice carp and huge bream the past season so cant wait to give these new baits a chuck and see what happens.

 I had a bag of spicy chicken packed away with all the rest of my boilies in the cupboard, indoors, dry atmosphere. Looked at them the other week and they all gone rotten, crumbled to dust. Yet some Dumbell boilies (are they Mainline or Richworth) I've had for 5 years now, fresh as ever. Soft to squeeze and smell delicious still.
Not picking on Dynamite either, some others I have are The Source and they're fine too. Can't understand why these, they never ever got wet and I don;t think I ever took the main bag out with me, just filled little pots with what I needed.

 I would guess that your dumbells aren't catching too many fish if you still have some after five years!

.JPG) Hi Woody, I have some of the chicken boillies since last March and the just fine.A bit harder but nothing a good glugging wont sort.My little girl even has a big bowl full that she feeds her bears with and there left in the open air but there ok too. You must have had a bad batch or some thing.

 Woody if you looked close i suspect you would find your boillies were covered in mites.
Boillies that are rendered down to fluffy/mouldy dust are usually mite ridden

 i have always kept spare chickens since they were available and have never had a problem todate with them so dont know what happend to yours but i have a tub full from last season and they are still as fresh as ever! just sat there waiting for the season to start not long now...

im off for a fishing hol end of the month, i've heard there is some big cats in the specialists lake at the venue. so im gonna try my luck with the 26mm muscle and oyster. sounds like the right bait to me, fresh fish how could any pussy turn it down, let you know how i get on.

 The dumbells are richworth. I had a bag and me and dad caught a few on them, will buy some more when the river season starts again.
|
 |
 I never thought of looking for mites.
I rarely use the dumbells, must admit, but when I have they usually caught fish, tench. They just stay there and keep on going.

 They are like those little mites you get in old flour aren't they ....

 I invested in a bag of Dynamite Spicy Shrimp & Prawn.
I was going to try them out today on a carping session. Went up to the Asda Superstore to get some sandwiches, but when I got there they'd already had their bins emptied of out-of-date sandwiches. So there was none left.
I refuse to visit the Coop's bins since they have in the past refused to stock angling newspapers on the grounds that they kept getting them nicked.
Well, it wasn't me and you can stuff your rotten sadnwiches, Coop.

 Don't know what you are talking about Woody, wasn't me!!!! I've never been known to let a sandwich go out of date yet!! :)

 Ah, sorry Coops. It should really be spelt Co-op. Short for Comic Opera.
|
 |
 I have used the Spicy Shrimp & Prawn never had a barb on them but chub love them I have used the marine halibut boillies one of my favourites and can outfish the pellets on certain days.

Shelf Life Boilies can never be fresh,whether it is 1 day or 5 years.
OK in an emergency,but hardly a bait of choice,surely.
I know they sell far more shelfies than frozen ,in the shops,but why handicap yourself with inferior bait,given a choice.
