kevtherev Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I recently took my baits to a flea market to sell. I had them on display on trays on a table outdoors. It was hot and sunny all day. When I got home and unloaded my unsold stock, I noticed ALL the light colored plastic had yellowed from exposure to the sun. I take great pains to avoid discoloration during pouring and now have hundreds of ruined/offcolor baits. I am sure it will come up so I will tell you I use LC plastic with pearl in most of my colors. Anyone else have this happen? I have abandoned selling outdoors for now. kevtherev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out fishing all day, and a Venom Sweet Dreams I had tossed on deck went gone from a light chart/melon color to a red/brown color. This wasn't a little yellowing, but a radical change on color. I thought my back seater had tossed the bait there when I saw it. It sure didn't look like anything I had in the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used LC white pearl in the baits that turned yellow/brownish. kevtherev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLibs Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I thought that the fact that colors yellow with exposure to UV was pretty well documented. Keeping colors in the dark slows down the process, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
