I used to keep my casters in water, that was until I got a little information from a mate who worked in a tackle shop.
He told me they never keep their casters in water. The suggestion was that casters kept in water suck water into the shell in an attempt to breath. Too long in water sends them sour, water also makes the shell soft.
Casters will keep for ever in a pellet pump. Just give them a ten minute spell of fresh air each day.
Of course on the bank the only way to prevent floaters is to keep them in water. I take a few casters at a time out of water for the hook.
For me casters are without doubt the best bait for silver fish.
