High Octane Fire Dye

I was apprehensive using this product because of some bad reviews. I followed the directions and it worked perfectly. In regards to directions, I was confused whether to use 12 or 16 oz. per instructions from website and labeling. I erred on the side of more water; 16 oz. I placed about 8 minnows to begin with and waited while fishing regular minnows for quite awhile. It is a rather messy process, so beware and be careful with the stuff.It does seem to be rather expensive since it cannot be reused (days later) unless you have a holding tank for minnows/bait.I couldn't determine effectiveness for catching crappie as the fishing was good that day - I limited. However, when I did use the chartreuse minnows, I got a bite or caught a crappie on each use.I would have given it five stars if not for the messiness and $.

It seemed to work well at first. I used two dozen shiners and a couple chubs were mixed in, sadly all the chubbs died in the dying process. So Id be careful what bait you use. The shiners turned out well at first but within a couple hours most of the color on them was gone. And the next day it was completely gone. So if youre planning to use this, due so within a few hours of dying them or its a total waste

Tried this out in hopes of getting more stripper bites on lake Lanier. Soaked the minnows in 1” of water with a aerator for 4 hours. One minnow turned out kinda chartreuse looking but the rest didn’t absorb any of the dye. It simply did not work.

I mixed this exactly as instructions said. I used fresh, clean, spring fed clear lake water. As soon as I put some minnows in the water, they started to die immediately. After just a few seconds, all minnows were belly up.Fishing with dead minnows is not what I was looking for. Beware of this stuff.

The media could not be loaded.  I have been using this product for a couple years now. I use it both ice fishing and for dying cut bait for trolling on Lake Ontario. I have never been dissapointed. This is the best product on the market. If you follow the directions it works every time. Yes....when it comes to dying live bait some bait species might take a little longer to take the color. The fins will dye quickly but the body might take a little longer. I assure you that it is worth the wait. We ice fish pretty hard in Vermont for everything from crappie, bass, pike and trout. Every species takes to this bait. Every person I fish with uses it now because it has proven itself time and time again. I HIGHLY recommend it!!!

The chartreuse works well. Mixed opinions on wether or not it helps to entice the crappie bite. We're catching them with and without coloring. And there doesn't seem to be any harmful effect on our shiners.Note: the orange and red did not color the minnows nearly as well as chartreuse.

Use this product only for dipping a minnow or sold plastic tail. I used this to dye the water in my minnow bucket, 30 min later I had a lot more floaters than usual 😝. All in all a good product to give you a edge!!

Did not work very well for me, Fins changed color some but wore off in a few hours . i will not spend that amount of money again for what I see.

After 1 use of the bottle I had half a bottle left which leaked all over the bottem of my bag and throughout my ice fishing gear making a huge mess

An excellent product from what we see so far...walleye loved the colour...

I used the chartreuse and it made my minnows look like they came straight from Fukushima!

This really made the colour pop on the baits never will I brine again with out the proper colour dye!!

Not as great as advertised. No indication it must be used full strength as is. It might be great on a given day but no guarantees. That's why they call it fishing....not catching.
