BassBull Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I have a problem with the dye going bad. (?) I leave it on the deck of my boat all the time and after a week and a half it no longer dye's the lures that are dipped into it. Has any one else ran into this ? Do you think leaving it in the hot sun is killing the chemical ? This is not just a one time thing, it's being doing this on me for years and I've tried a lot of ways to stop it with no luck. Another thing is after I dip about a dozon times it starts getting darker. Does anyone wrince off the lures before dipping? Haven't tried that yet. Any help is appr. and thanks a head of time.

smallmouthaholic Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 My dye never leaves the shop so i've never experienced that problem baits are prepared in advance Why not call the manufacturer and as him?

cadman Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 I haven't used a lot of it until recently. I only put in dry craws, worms and lizards. I don't know if that matters or not, but I've don't have a problem with it. I keep my bottle in my plastics bag, and that sits in the sun, but the bottle is never exposed to the sun. So I can't say. Best to call the manufacturer as stated above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 The sun will change the color of the chartreuse dip. I keep mine in a storage compartment. I've had better luck with their dye pens. I leave them in a sst bowl I put my pedestal through on the bow. They last for years in the sun. The caps fade, but the dye inside stays good.

BassBull Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I made the call to Bruce and he also said the sun is bad news for dye's. Keep them out of sunlight !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
