The only danger is that if you expose the bait to direct sunlight or excessive air temperature the bait may start to swell with the bait itself giving off gases. As long as the bait is stored in a cool and dark place there should be no problems. Best of luck with your trip, Paul Cooper Hi Darren

The baits certainly stay fresh and also because they form a 'flat pack', they really don't take up much room in the car and so can be stashed all over the place. Cheers, Pat I can vouch for the effectiveness of this method, having seen it in use on some of the French trips i have been on with Paul.

The unit does come with around 10 small bags but you can ,as I have, purchase rolls of Vacuum pack (model BR2805)which is 28cm wide and 5 metres in length. You can select whatever length you want. By using the seal only button, you create one end of the bag, put in the bait and vacuum and seal the other end of the bag. I find that if you put around 2 kilo,s per bag, they do stack niceley. The only down side to vacuum packing, is that if the baits have not been completely air dried, due to the force of the vacuum, it can make the boilies go out of shape a little, caused by them having contact with the other boilies. I have not found this to be a problem as they still can be put out accurately in a throwing stick. If you run out of storage space in your own freezer at home, you can still vacuum pack without freezing. I have had boilies stored like this for months, in a cool shaded place. Hope this has helped you Ron, I assure you it does work. Regards Paul Ron

I like the idea of being able to take prepared particles. I like the flat bags too, when I travel to France I have stuff stashed in every corner and they look ideal. They will fit nicely under the car front seats. I've been on the Andrew James website and there's a choice of a couple of models. Which one do you recommend ?
