Vacuum Sealer Bags - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

MuddyMike · 02-18-2011, 08:24 AM

I just picked up a FoodSaver setup from Walmart a couple weeks ago. Took me 2 nights to get my first hog all sealed up and in the freezer. Really nice machine, I wish I would have got one years ago.

Anyhow, I don't recall the varieties or pcies, but just mentioning it in case you're at Wally World, or need some last minute and can't wait for shipping, .... they stock them.

About 45 minutes north of Paso Robles on a friend's ranch. With the same guys responsible for putting this idea of kayak fishing in my head.

I've also seen the bags for sale at Costco in Temecula. Not sure if they sell them at other Costcos but it seems like an easy way to stock up.

can you guys please specify which model of foodsaver that you own.

i have been looking for one but have been hesitant to purchase one. i would like to know from those who have the basic model, would you recommend it or would you rather have gotten the higher end one?

i am concerned on whether the added features on the higher end ones are worth added cost, i.e. soft food sensor and faster vacuum.

thanks for the reply's.

How much better does vak sealing do vs. a ziploc freezer bag? I'm thinking of investing in a freezer for the garage to stock up my catches. Zip locs seem easier?

I used to hunt on Fort Hunter Liggit...took a couple nice pigs out of there a few (15 or so) years back!
