Wondering how long boilies last? Most ready-made boilies have a shelf life of at least 6 months, so you can easily store them for a longer period, provided you consider a few factors! Read on to find out what those are.
How long do boilies last?
Boilies generally last for 6 to 12 months, depending on the conditions. Note: these are ready-made boilies, not freezer baits. These are stored in the freezer and have a short shelf life after thawing.
Curious about what influences shelf life and how you can keep your boilies fresh for even longer?
Three factors that influence the shelf life of boilies
Composition and ingredients
The composition of boilies plays a significant role in their shelf life. Certain ingredients can spoil faster, while others extend their shelf life. Most ready-made boilies contain preservatives to help them stay fresh longer. In some cases, they can last for years!
Storage conditions
How you store your boilies can significantly impact their shelf life. It's important to keep them in a cool, dry, and dark place. Exposure to heat, moisture, and direct sunlight can cause boilies to spoil faster.
Packaging
The packaging of the boilies also plays a role in their shelf life. It's advisable to store boilies in airtight bags or buckets to minimize exposure to oxygen and moisture. This keeps them fresh longer and preserves their flavor. They also dry out less quickly.
That's why we've packed all KWO Specials in resealable bags. Do you have leftover boilies or want to take fewer to the bank? Simply seal the remaining boilies in an airtight bag. Store them in a cool, dry, dark place, and they'll keep for months.
How do you know if boilies are still good?
It's important to regularly check the freshness of your boilies before using them. You can inspect them for signs of mold, discoloration, or unpleasant odors. If the boilies seem off, it's best to discard them and use fresher ones.
While our boilies will keep for at least 6 months, we recommend using them within 3 months for optimal results. Of course, not fishing for longer than 3 months isn't an option either ;-)
Success!
