You also have to consider line limpness. If it is too ropey I will not want to use it on my spinning gear even if it has a low stretch. Some of the hybrids seem that way.

Re: Shelf life of scents/attractants?
I make my own stink bait everyday, so I know those are good (everyone likes their own brand).
I do know that I have had to clean my Bang nozzle after sitting for a while. It still has good pressure and smells fishy so I assume its good.

It seems just as soon as some lake is going to "turn on" the weather changes and puts things on hold. I bet as May comes in the weather will be a little more consistent and so will the bite.
