what does have a shelf life is heat stabilizer in the plastic, It essentially goes bad and will not perform its intended job after about 6 months.

That is just the cost to print lure. This is not for production use. More for prototyping.

I might also add you'll need to check the hard packing on the bottom of the jug. The longer it sits, the better chance of that happening. Some brands more than others.

NO- not in my experience. However, it will gain moisture inside which- 1- Will be a problem if micro wave heated 2- Not a problem in heated in pots w/ a mechanical stirror

Nothing beats a good tail shot. But there is an alternate y; dip them in paint. This allows you to shot a solid 1 color bait and then add your color later...any color. Depending the look you want to achieve and the base color of your swim bait you may have to use White paint first as a basecoat then go over that with your final color. Spike-It's Dip-N-Glo Worm Paint is a good place to start. It wont bleed or migrate over time like a dye will, it stays put. In the attached photo you can see from left to right: 1) Watermelon (no dip) 2) Watermelon with Chartreuse Worm Paint 3) Watermelon with Chartreuse Worm Paint with a White Worm Paint base coat laid down first 4) Pearl White (no dip) 5) Pearl White with Red Worm Paint (no base coat needed) Just something to think about.
