Place 1
or 2 pieces SmartBait securely
into trap using:
ö bait bag (3/8" diameter or less performs best)

ö bait hook or wire
ö DO NOT use bait
jars or bait cups. |

3. |
Supplement
SmartBait with your
traditional bait for the first 5-7 days depending on water conditions.
This allows SmartBait to equalize and reach peak effectiveness. |

Add an
additional piece(s) of SmartBait after 14-17 days. |

ö
1.5
gallons of water per pound of SmartBait
ö
Maintain water temperature
between 45 - 65 F (7 - 19 C)

IMPORTANT |
|
Equalization
time and longevity of SmartBait will vary with fishing grounds and time of
year, primarily due to water temperature, weather conditions and type of
ocean bottom. Typically, colder water increases equalization time and also
enhances the longevity of SmartBait. Do not use a bait jar or bait cup as
they tend to restrict the scent trail given off by SmartBait.
