Power Bait - Shelf Life

[MSBruno]

How long should an open package of Power Bait be sitting in a tackle box until it's discarded?

I think powerbait is pretty safe even out of the package completely. It's the Gulp/Gulp Alive products that need to be in there purchased packaging.

Taste it and tell us what you think.

 

It's fine, although it's scent/flavour may not be as strong as a new un-opened package. I still use regular unscented plastics sometimes, so I can't see old power bait being worse. It's all about confidence though.

I've caught fish on power bait that is close to 20 years old. I'm sure the scent isn't what it used to be, but it still works.

If you're talking plastics, I've got half a pack of twister tails that are still Power Baitish after a decade.

 

If you're talking that floating dough that comes in jars six months tops (killer fall brown & bow plunker bait btw)
