Gulp shelf life?

[WCoyote]

Anybody know the facts on the shelf life of Gulp? The stuff I carried over from last fall has a lot of liquid in the bags. Both those that were opened and resealed and those that were never opened.
Is it now worthless? I really like the product by the way. Any help will be appreciated.

As long as the baits have not turned hard I would keep using them.

Don't know the facts, but have noticed that the white sometimes turns brown after a while, even when unopened. My rule of thumb is is the bag has puffed up with gas, I toss 'em, ditto if they discolor, and I dispose of bags opened last season. However, that might very well be unnecessary.

A few of the bags that I opened started to dry out. I added maybe a tablespoon of water, and they still seem to be OK after a year or so. If they start to dry, I feel you can't hurt them any by trying water, as they will get hard anyway.

I do not place used baits back in the bag with used ones, however, but I do keep another separate zip bag with a little water in it. They seem to stay OK in there for a while, but eventually will start to mildue, then I pitch them.

I have several opened bags from last year and they look like new. I do keep them in a plastic box out of the sun. Don't know if that matters. I have several bags that are going on 2 years old and are unopened (stocked up one day, sale). They still look like they did the day I bought them.
