    Derek-How much experience do you have ordering through Vado’s? Also, have you tried the colored euro-larvae? I want to order some this year, but not sure what they have for a shelf life

    Wats, I havent ordered on-line. I live three miles from the shop.

    The colored maggies are all I use in the winter for panfish. Red and whites are my favorites. They keep really good in the fridge.

    Derek-Since you are so close to the shop, I may have to ask a favor when it gets closer to the GTG on Mille Lac
    I really want to try the mixed colors of the euro-larvae this year. I know red really gets the perch fired up in this area and the creamy ones are good for all fish. I mught see if you want to pick some up for me

    I used some colored euro from vados last year. they were alright, but they did die somewhat faster than I expected but – I don’t have a lot of experience to measure against.

    How long do they actually last in the fridge
    Is there anything else you can do to extend their life

    Expect about 2-3 weeks. Remove the dead ones. They turn black when they are dead. You cant stop their life cycle. You just need to keep them between 35-40 degrees.

    Mine did really well then, I had some go 6 weeks I remember, I did pick out the dead ones every 3-4 days though. I keep my garage about 35-40 deg so I just leave em out there, not in a fridge.

    VADOS is great to work with. Super company.

    Derek – should I get bait ahead for the IDA outing or pick it up at Nitti’s?

    Vados has the most fresh maggies. They may also have wigglers at that time. Excellent perch bait.

    For you guys coming from the south, if you take 65 north to the east side of mille lacs, you will drive right by Vados.
