COLOURING AND FLAVOURING BAITS

SOME deadbaits take dyes and flavours much better than others. Smelts are perfect for colouring, and can be simply sprayed with liquid dye to change their appearance. Try yellow, red or green baits.

Injecting fish oil is the most common way of flavouring deadbaits.

Flavouring is a useful way of revitalising a washed-out bait, extending its useful life. Try smelt or mackerel flavours.
