    I find it a best bet to par freeze your product before sealing
    keeps the juices from flowing towards the seal

    another trick is to roll your bags down to keep the juice or prodcut from ever touching the sealing area of the bag

    I just got a new sealer - after 3 of the food savers...

    http://www.pleasanthillgrain.com/vac...ng_system.aspx

    It is an external sealer that does require channelized bags, like the food saver, but if you buy them in bulk, they are a LOT cheaper than Food Saver.

    This thing works great - and is only about $100 more than food saver.

    Would have gotten the commercial type, but the one I could afford is too small to vacuum seal Spanish Macks for BM baits...

    Looks good. something I saw on the site makes me think it could be operator error. The commercials dont tell you you havta let it cool down after a couple of bags. I'm usually baging 50# of meat/fish or more for the freezer. Everything gets bagged, bags wiped and ready then the sealin commences.
    To fast to let the heating element cool down I think. I still would like one that can keep up.

    I do like shortfin. I let them freeze a little bit and then seal them with the vacuum sealer and I double seal them. I was having problems with moisture from the fish going to the seal and it was making for a poor seal.

    Food Saver Pro ll ! I've had mine for over 5 years now & only had to replace the styrofoam seal. Like Box said, the thing has never failed me yet.
    Other than when my wife jams something in the freezer & punctures the bag.

    Adds a little more work but every bag that I seal gets a folded up paper towel at the top just inside where it's gonna be sealed... This soaks up any moisture so it doesn't get in the element... Never have a seal break unless I drop the bag outta the freezer...That'll do it every time...
