FAQs
Can I use this kit for live bait?
This kit is specifically designed for deadbait use. It should not be used on live fish.
How do I store the needles safely?
Always store the needles inside the provided carry tube when not in use to protect the points.
Will the oil leak out of the bait once injected?
If injected into a cavity or deep into the flesh, the oil will stay contained within the bait for an extended period.
Can the needles be sharpened?
It is recommended to replace the needles if they become blunt, as attempting to sharpen them may weaken the structural integrity.
Is the syringe dishwasher safe?
No, you should hand wash the syringe with warm, soapy water to avoid damage to the seals.
Troubleshooting
Needle is clogged with oil residue
Soak the needle in warm, soapy water and use a thin wire to clear the obstruction.
Syringe plunger is sticking
Clean the internal barrel of the syringe thoroughly to remove any dried fish oil deposits.
Air is leaking during injection
Ensure the needle is screwed or pushed fully onto the syringe nozzle to create an airtight seal.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Perfect for achieving neutral bait buoyancy
- Large-bore needle handles thick oils with ease
- Durable carry tube protects components in transit
- Highly precise application control
- Compact and lightweight for the mobile angler
Cons
- Needles require careful handling to avoid accidental pricks
- Requires thorough cleaning to prevent oil buildup inside the syringe
- Bait must be handled gently to avoid tearing during injection
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the kit, ensure the desired needle is firmly seated onto the syringe tip. When using thick oils, draw the oil slowly to avoid air bubbles. After use, it is critical to flush the syringe and needles with warm, soapy water to prevent residue buildup, as old oil can turn rancid and potentially deter fish. Always store the components inside the provided carry tube to keep the needles sharp and free from debris. Avoid using this kit on frozen bait, as the resistance can bend or break the needles; always allow baits to defrost completely before injection.
