5for25 Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I have some Osprey baits that have the blueish green areas appearing on them. Does this damage the value of the bait? I bought a bunch for fishing around here and they are just too big. Trying to understand the value. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaChild Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I’d imagine it’s from the lead harness brushhawg1 and chevro1et 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Heath Taylor from Smash-Tech baits mention that he uses all tin inserts to avoid any discoloration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevro1et Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 that's weird, it looks like a color bleed from an external source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppabass Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 Wow I thought lead was generally inert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaChild Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Those pictures lead me to believe that lead isnt the problem. It almost looks like a different bait bled onto them and caused the discoloration. I have seen instances of glitter reacting with certain things leading to the glitter dye to leak into the bait.
