afishyfish 4 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 how long can you keep gents for in the fridge before they get turfed outUsually about as long as it takes the missus to find them :whistle: To be honest Ive never really taken any notice, but I do know aarons long life ones do last well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aarron 29 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Bran will normally keep for a few weeks, just make sure you give them a shake every day to stop the bran from settling on the bottom.Ideal fridge temperature is 3 degrees. Long life will keep for months Just make sure they do not dry out by adding a little bit of water if needed, be careful though if you add too much they will drown.Was talking with one of the other bait suppliers the other day and they have had a packet of the long life gents in their fridge for just under 6 months now and over 80% of them are fine.If you do get a few dead ones, give them a try. They will work also yellowbelly14 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagger 24 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Aaron I think the longest I have kept some of yours in the fridge would be around 4 months. Never given them longer but sure they would last the distance. Same thing, at least 80% were still alive and took a heap of gar on !! :)Great value for money IMO !!

samrota 1 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I've kept the longlife gents in the fridge for 6 months or so. Most were still very much alive. The ones in bran do not last as long.Sam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tako 0 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I have also kept the long life ones for 6months easily, never by the ones in bran any more, not worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You could probably write your fridge off on your tax a bit too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I don't think their the long life ones then,their prob a different species for a different application, her work involves polinating agricultural crop trials in mesh tents Quote Link to post Share on other sites
