Full details
The Pikepro Deadbait Punch Spare Foam is designed for predator anglers looking to optimize the presentation and buoyancy of their deadbaits. This simple yet effective tool allows you to easily insert high-buoyancy foam directly into the bait, ensuring it sits at the perfect depth to attract pike and other predatory fish. While it is an essential addition to any angler's tackle box for improving bait posture, users should note that it requires a compatible punching tool for optimal application.

FAQs
How many pieces are in a pack?
Each pack contains 6 pieces of high-buoyancy foam.
Can I reuse the foam?
The foam is designed for a single trip; it is recommended to replace it after the bait has been retrieved or if it shows signs of structural damage.
Do I need a specific tool to use this?
Yes, you will need a dedicated deadbait punch tool to create the channel in the bait for the foam to slide into.
Does this foam affect the scent of the bait?
The material is inert and designed to have no scent, ensuring it does not interfere with the natural attraction of your deadbait.
What is the primary benefit of using this foam?
It helps achieve a perfect presentation by keeping the head of your deadbait elevated off the bottom, making it more visible to predators.
Troubleshooting
Foam is difficult to insert into the bait
Ensure the punch tool has created a clean, clear channel through the length of the bait's throat.
Bait is not buoyant enough
Check that the foam is positioned far enough into the bait cavity and consider using a larger piece if the bait size warrants it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your bait, ensure you have a standard deadbait punching tool that matches the diameter of these foam inserts. The foam is compatible with most coarse fish deadbaits like roach, skimmers, or mackerel. After each session, discard any used foam from the bait to prevent rot or bacterial growth in your tackle bag. Keep the remaining unused foam in the original packaging to ensure it remains clean and free from chemicals or oils that could deter predatory fish.
