smerchly Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I left some shrimp in my carp back pack in a sandwich bag & the "juice" leaked ..... a few weeks ago & it really stunk badly .....even the plastic baggies with my hook rigs stink like a long dead rat ! I emptied the back pack , washed it in laundry soap , hung it outside for a week , and it still reeks .....I won't need the bag until April but maybe someone here knows of a "neutralizer" to kill this rotten odour ? ...oh yes ....shrimp cocktail last night !! ...

Yikes Limey .....not a proper thing for an English lad to waste a good tea bag for smelly shoes ? lol I have a box of elderly Salada tea bags I could use (lots of coffee grinds too . Some guys are using cedar moth balls in the boats , etc., to keep mice away , sure smells nice ...may be worth picking some up at Home Hardware ... should make your shoes rock too !

Captain Hooksets Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Smerch, maybe try febreze a couple times over the winter and see. Or maybe some bounce fabric sheets and just leave them in there for the winter, should have the bag smelling nice in the spring. I use bounce sheets in the boat over the winter to keep the mice out and in the spring it smells like heaven in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
мормышка Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'd say its cursed. What size is your back pack? If just standard, I could give you one that I don't really use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pail full of used bounce sheets in the basement from the dryer ,can dump the whole bunch into the bag ! I've used them inside my shoes when they got wet and smelled like "a rose" . 1 hour ago, мормышка said: I'd say its cursed. What size is your back pack? If just standard, I could give you one that I don't really use. Cursed ..... or blessed , depending on one's schnoz's preferences..... The "red" back pack is regular size with a few zippered pockets ....just right for carp tackle . I bought a new Woods one this summer , and was waiting for one of my 2 back packs to bite the dust before using it . The time might be close to do that. haha ! Thanks for the offer M.P.K. .....I put about 50 used bounce sheets and 4 new ones inside and zipped it shut . If that doesn't do it , the bag will be toast .

Snags Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Option #1 - Rent a ozone-ator ... is supposed to remove all odours and such xOption #2 - Get a hockey bag de-stinker ... all I know is they supposedly take the stench of hockey out of equipment and bags. Never used one. Option #3 - Some of the dollar stores sell things like these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I is for animals droppings or urine. It is for removing biologicals. Wash out the back pack let it dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
