Don't let them freeze.

What about spikes? I got an order from Vados and just put em in the fridge how they came.. Is this alright?

Around 50 degrees tends to work for me for waxies. I keep mine in my basement. I picked up a few hundred in late november and only a few have died.

Haven't gotten to use many yet, thanks to mother nature, but I digress. :rant:

Anyhow, also pick out the dead ones regularly.

I wonder if they'll keep till next year (just kidding)

I think that they are to be stored at or around 35 degrees. Do a bait search and most suppliers will tell you the best method to keep them lively ! They say in the fridge for spikes and maggots and in a cool, dark place around 50 for waxies !!

Good Luck Mike
