nfrumkin Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hi, I have just purchased a deps 250 in B.B. Stocker Trout from a member on SU. I have fished the bait for probably only a couple hours and every time it performs perfectly. When I get home however, I hang the bait from the split ring and even after 2 weeks water is still sitting under the skin. I have heard this destroys the foil, could be wrong but let me hear what you gotta say. How should I drain water out, is it normal for it to stay in there? Any feedback helps thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, new model. Water is all over the bait, backwards and forwards of the joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedonnguyen Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 inside the body or just under the skin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Arean Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I drilled a hole in mine then patched the hole up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPerkins802 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I think he means just under the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peteisgood Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 If its just under the skin its not a huge issue, just get as much as you can out when you're done. But there shouldn't be water inside the bait on a new style. If there is, drain it and epoxy the hole and where its coming in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedonnguyen Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 2 weeks and it still looks wet just under the skin? Seems a little excessive amount of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hookedup Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 You run into problems if you store the bait wet in a air tight spot like tupperware box or even the box it came in. The skin will fog up as it soaks the water in. If you're hanging it in the open, just shake it out a bit and you won't have any problems.

Csweitzer Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Same thing happens to mine, and the paint underneath is starting to crack, not a huge deal but I try to completely drain it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
