FISHBITES CATCH MORE FISH!
Fishbites® Catfish Baits have all the advantages of natural bait – and then some! These baits may be the only Stink-Free catfish baits on the market today. They require no refrigeration and retain their scent and durability for at least a year when properly stored. Fishbites® Catfish Baits will bring in the big cats without leaving you smelling like catfish bait. It’s the scent that melts in the water, not on your hands®.
Fishbites Longer Lasting (E-Z) baits, identified by blue packaging, feature an embedded cloth mesh designed to withstand strong currents, warmer water (above \(65^{\circ}F\)), and bait stealers, often lasting for multiple catches. These durable strips can stay on the hook for over an hour, allowing anglers to catch several fish on a single piece before needing replacement.Â
Key Features of Long-Lasting Fishbites:
-
- Durability: The “E-Z” formula includes a tough inner mesh, making them far more durable than Fast Acting (red package) formulas.
- Performance: Ideal for surf fishing, offshore bottom fishing, and areas with high numbers of nuisance fish.
- Usage: They can withstand multiple casts and fish, often lasting 15–45 minutes or longer depending on conditions.
- Storage: While they last a long time on the hook, they should be kept sealed and ideally refrigerated for maximum shelf life, typically around a year.Â
Best Practices:
- Sizing: Use the “fingernail rule”—a small piece about the size of a fingernail is often sufficient.
- Removal: Because they are tough, it is best to use scissors or a knife to remove them rather than trying to rip them off by hand.
- Versatility: They work well alone or in combination with natural bait to enhance scent
