BHud4 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 i have a standard chlorine pool and test my baits in it to get an idea of the swim and what not and i was wondering yesterday does the chemicals affect the baits? i typically wash the baits off in my sink after but just wondered if pool testing may be a bad thing for the baits.. Would the fish be able to notice the chemical if i didnt wash it off.. I mean if they are hungary they will eat anything right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missinfish Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I'd never do that! Might wash off the mojo! I use my Koi pond! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slammedsdime Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I always used to throw baits in the pool to test without ever washing them off. I don't think it hurt anything but it built confidence in the bait which is probably better then the effects of the pool. I don't do it any more because i don't have access to a pool.
