placcy care help, as ours are mouldy

hey guys

well we havent been out for a placcy sesh for a couple of months as we have been super busy and i had a look at the plastics today and saw theyre all mouldy (presuming) ruined and stinky.

these 2 were the most ruined

and a close up of the worst (not even used as the end wasnt snipped off!)

we had about 8 placcys, half gulps and half squidgies in a plano waterproof container inside a plano waterproof tackle box (the clear ones with red trimmings) all of this mouldy stuff was on the gulps (the squidgies looked fine) but they all smelt like crap so i threw them out.

i used dizzys tournament gel the last time we used them and think thats the problem, has anyone else experienced this happening or is it just that gel?

the red and white gulp was never used so im dumbfounded to whats happened there.

im keen to hear any ways of caring for placcys as ive just bought some mcarthy placcys and dont want to have to chuck them all out.

generally if i can see the packet leacking i will chuck all its content in the container mixing new and old ones, is this bad? should i get another container and put the new ones in that, keeping them seperate from the used ones?

im keen to hear some feedback and hopefully it will hep others in prolonging placcy life.

cheers rob

Stop buying gulp!

Stop buying gulp would be the first tip! Its not even a sp, its just compressed bait rubbish with a horrid smell and a worse action.

Keep different brands apart, they seem to f**k each other up.

I just keep all my McArthy Baits all mixed up together in a bag, they're still fine!

is it okay to use x-factor on other brands, or is it only good on squidgies?
