Product Information
Full details
The PikePro Mackerel Flavour Dye is designed for predator anglers looking to increase the strike rate of their lures by combining high-visibility coloration with a potent, natural scent. It is ideal for those fishing in murky or deep water where visual and olfactory triggers are essential for locating pike. While it is highly effective at drawing fish in, users should be aware that the concentrated dye can stain clothing and surfaces, requiring careful handling during application.

FAQs
Does this dye wash off immediately?
The formula is designed to be water-resistant, but it will slowly disperse over time, so re-application every 30 to 60 minutes is recommended.
Can I use this on live bait?
While it is intended for artificial lures, some anglers use it on dead bait, though it is primarily formulated for rubber and plastic consistency.
Is the scent toxic to fish?
The formula is designed to be an attractive scent that is safe for the aquatic environment when used in recommended amounts.
Will this dye stain my hands?
Yes, it is highly concentrated. It is recommended to use gloves or wash your hands immediately after application to avoid staining.
Is this the same as the Red Lamprey version?
No, the Mackerel version uses a different scent profile and color. The Red Lamprey dye (Q48) is a separate product from the same brand.
Troubleshooting
Spray nozzle becomes clogged
Rinse the nozzle under warm running water to dissolve any dried scent residue.
Color is not showing up well on dark lures
Apply a secondary base coat of the dye to build up intensity or use on lighter-colored lure bodies.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the dye, shake the bottle gently and spray a light mist directly onto your lure from a distance of about 4-6 inches. Ensure the lure is dry before application for better adhesion of the scent and color.
Compatibility: This product is safe for use on most rubber, silicone, and hard plastic lures. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area if you are concerned about material reactions.
Care and Storage: Always store the bottle in an upright position with the cap securely fastened to prevent leaks. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean, use mild soap and warm water if any spills occur on your gear, but avoid letting the dye set on fabric.
