baitcha Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 The bait was put into the water. The color changed after twenty minutes. When dried again, it returns to its original color. I've tried organic pigments and other pigments, but the same thing is happening again and again. What's the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 If you added salt, that could be the cause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 That happen to me but take a lot longer than 20 minutes. If I leave mine in for hours it will absorb water. Might be your brand of plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never use water for curing but can fish a bait all day and never have it waterlog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using dead on plastics and put them right into cooler water after use and not noticed issues related to what you are seeing above. which brand plastic was it?

Frank Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Well you are going to have to find out what is making it do that. If you compounded your own then it is a formula problem I my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is an additive that can solve this problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
