Sticky Baits Manilla Shelf Life Boilies are a year-round bite magnet, built around a unique peanut protein that's found only in Sticky Baits' arsenal. Pairing that with blended milk proteins, birdfoods and a natural Madagascan vanilla extract, plus a defatted peanut ingredient and a gentle preservative, they stay potent on the bank and easy to stock.
-
Size options: 12mm, 16mm and 20mm to suit rigs and fishing style, giving you versatility whether you're fishing tight-to-cover or out wide on a gravel bar.

Core attractants: a distinctive peanut protein exclusive to Sticky Baits, blended with milk proteins and birdfoods for a multi-layered attractant profile that appeals to carp on scent, taste and texture.
-
Flavor and aroma: natural Madagascan vanilla extract provides a classic, inviting aroma that enhances the overall appeal without overpowering the fishing approach.
-
Defatted peanut ingredient: while peanuts offer strong attraction, the high-fat content can be an issue; a revolutionary defatted version keeps the bait effective while reducing excess oil and helping maintain a cleaner rig presentation.
-
Preservation and shelf life: a natural preservative distinguishes shelf life boilies from freezer baits, making them more accessible to a wider range of anglers who prefer a ready-to-go option in the tackle box or car boot.

-
Target species: specifically formulated for carp, aiming to deliver steady interest and consistent bite opportunities across different water conditions.
-
Usage guidance: the high-fat content of classic peanut ingredients means you should use them with a sensible approach; the shelf life version uses a defatted component to help manage fat levels while keeping attractants potent.
The Manilla Shelf Life Boilies are built for anglers who want reliability without chasing frost-free convenience every time they fish. The standout feature is the unique peanut protein, a genuine talking point that sticks with carp in a crowded feed zone. This protein workhorse is complemented by blended milk proteins and birdfoods, creating a balanced meal that carp recognise and respond to. The Madagascan vanilla extract isn’t just a scent note; it’s a natural cue that helps draw fish in and sustain interest as the rig sits in the swim. For long sessions or trips, the shelf life version brings real practicality: you can keep bags in the car or tackle bag without worrying about rapid degradation, thanks to the natural preservative that keeps the bait friendly for longer than some other boilies. And because the product uses a defatted peanut component, you get the appeal of peanuts without an overly fatty profile on the rig, which helps maintain presentation and reduces risk of oily mess on hands, nets, and rigs.
