Do I put the scent on first or Fool-a-Fish
Fool-a-Fish 1st as it is designed to stay on the lure or bait
and scent 2nd as it is designed to disperse in the water.
Have there been any controlled tests regarding claims that fish
prefer Fool-a-Fish sprayed lures or baits &
that they really see it as a “disco ball”?
Captain John Keizer, one of the founders of Salmon University Fishing Institute
in Seattle, Washington has written on several occasions that cut herring sprayed
with Fool-a-Fish caught 3-4 times as many salmon as unsprayed cut herring identically
and simultaneously trolled behind his fishing boat. Captain Keizer also
wrote, “Instructors have sprayed it (Fool-a-Fish) on lures, flashers, hootchies
and plugs, all which showed better results than the same lures not treated with
Fool-a-Fish.”
David Mull, editor of the Great Lakes Angler Magazine, wrote in the April,
2006 edition (p. 10) that he participated in a fishing tournament
on Lake Michigan, one of the five Great Lakes of the USA..
Using Fool-a-Fish, David Mull caught six lake trout and one brown trout
when no fish of these species were caught by anyone else. Mr. Mull then wrote in
his last paragraph, “The next day, half of our spread had lures with
Fool-a-Fish; the other half of the lures were untreated. The half with the
UV enhancer caught seven of our eight fish, including all three of our biggest kings
(King Salmon).
Fool-a-Fish sounds too good to be true! Is it a magic potion?
No, but it will help you catch more fish on most days.
How many lures can a 2 oz bottle treat?
100 squirts with about 1 – 2 per lure.
Non-Toxic?
All ingredients have low toxicity, no fluorides, chlorides, lead, zinc,
bromides, iodides, cadmiums. All have been widely used in cosmetics for over
30 years in creams, lotions, etc.
How long should I let it dry and will it dry on live bait?
We suggest overnight drying for best results on lures. Live or wet
bait will not dry completely so will stay on 5 to 10 minutes.
Does it work for night fishing or with lights?
We believe any type of light would provide some reflection with Fool-a-Fish.
Is there a difference between Bait & Lure Formula and Fly Formula?
The Fly Formula is a bit less concentrated to allow more flexibility of the fly.
Can you see if the product is still on the lure after 5 or 10 minutes?
Yes. It will appear as a slightly white dust. |
