Dip and Dye's

[Mike Cork]

Not just for plastics.....

If you take the chartreuse, blue or red, you can add color to the belly of your white crank baits

It doesn't give a dark color more like a shine or fade, looks awesome.

Also you can dye the bills of your crank baits to give more color. By coloring the bills of a crank it will also appear larger to the fish when it comes by

Don't be giving away all my secrets Mike!

I've been using chartreuse dip-n-glow for years now.  Just had a wild hair one day and dipped a white crank bait, love the results.

Very good tip Mike I started doing this a few years back, before they came out with the pen style and still do. I some how got my tip posted in the Dec. 2000 Tip section of BassMaster mag. Had sent many tips before but that one got in.

"Lots of anglers are using Spike-IT Dip and Glow on their plastics, but this stuff works great on hard baits too. To apply, use a thin model brush or Q-tip. It's easy to custom paint your crankbaits and topwater plugs to meet changing conditions, or add a different look to your lures when the bite is slow. The Spike-it cleans off with thinner and comes in several colors, plus it adds scent to your presentation."
