Thread: Color Bleedng/fading question from a newbie

It is actually the other way around. The chartreuse looks just as it should and the pink is the color that appeared to change to a much more muted, almost peach, color after a couple days. I was mostly just making sure there wasn't a color stabilizer or something similar that I should be adding. The only other thing I can think of is, after cooling the completed tube bodies and splitting the tails, I gave them all a spray of Berkely Gulp Alive (which is clear) and then put a little bit of salt in the storage bag with them to keep the tail segments from sticking together. Maybe either the Gulp or salt changed the color?

The only way to rule out the salt or the gulp is to make another small batch and put some salt in a bag with a couple baits, put the gulp in a bag with a couple baits, then put them both in a bag with a couple baits and then some baits by themselves. this will rule out if there is a problem there.CF
