James RickardUsing Spike-It
October 7th 2008 00:44
A lot of, if not most, products at the tackle shop are made to catch anglers instead of fish. I'm pleased to say that is not the case with Spike-It worm dye!
I know someone is going to say, "Why don't you just buy the worm in the color you want to begin with?"
Sometimes, that's easier said than done. A color you like may be sold out, not available, or you may want to customize beyond what is available on the market.
Since over a dozen different colors are produced, I'm not going to insult your intelligence and say I've used them all. However, I can say that I wasted a lot of money and time before I bought a bottle of Spike-It. Since then, I've colored a several chartreuse worms and made a lot of two-tone fish getters.
More importantly, I'm pleased to say there's no "chemical" smell when using Spike-It. Just dip your worm, let it dry, and it has a fish attracting scent rather than smelling like fingernail polish!
Granted, you can't have optimum results with a light color such as chartreuse over black but it does give an unusual effect. Further, you can use a lighter color over something like pumpkinseed and achieve good results.

I'm not 100% sold on color as an attractant no matter what anyone says. A light green-yellow tinge never hurts but, this couples with the scent. All in all, I think it's a good combination! If I had to go with one or the other, I 'd go with the scent.
