That's a great help thanks for the advice, the reason i can't put it in the freezer or fridge is because my girlfriend put a ban on it a about a week ago because she was fed up of so much bait being in the fridge freezer, you know the kind of stuff left over sprats, lumps of sausage meat, hemp etc, I didn't complain too much as she is very easy going and let's me do loads of fishing,i already have my own room which is full of stinky tackle. I'll just have to wait untill we get a new one then I can put the old in the shed
