Shelf life of spray Attractant

Featured Replies

I saw some on the shelf at Wal-Mart, and wondered how long it has been there.  Does this stuff go bad?

I would guess it lasts indefinitely, but if you are

looking for suggestions: MegaStrike and JJ's Magic

are favorites around here.

I had planned on trying one of those the next time I made a purchase from TW.  This was on clearance at about half price, I'm sure left over from last year.

I think most attractants are like alchohol and only get better (or more potent) as they age. ;)

Now, if we were talking Doe Urine, that would be differant. You sure don't want to smell that after it has spent a summer in your glovebox. Voice of experience!  :-[

Bobby has jokes. lol.  I actually work for an aerosol company that makes one of the attractants on the market. 2 to 3 years is the shelf life of an aerosol attractant.

My brother has the large squirt/spray style bottle of Bang shad scent, and it eventually went 'bad.'  It simply lost its potency and really thinned out.

A squirt bottle will eventually go bad. The chemicals will sometimes seperate.  Stick with aerosols or tubes or dyes.

Thanks for all the info.  Not sure if this stuff would work, but thought it might at least cover any bad scents that I might transfer like sunscreen, etc. 

I still want to try your product Bobby!

I was cleaning out my shed the other day and found a bottle of Baitmate panfish attractant from the mid 90's in my first tackle box. It does not look too bad and still smells, so I wonder. Perhaps I will try it next trip down to the Crappie hole.

A good way to use old scent, rather than tossing it, is mixing it in a batch of dough balls for cats.
