cleaning your bait pump

[sac-a-lait]

I just cleaned mine for the first time AND it's a GOOD AS NEW. I soaked it in HOT water and a little soap over night and it took out EVERY last bit of any old stuff and a little I got on the threads. I just waited for the pump to run dry then soaked it and it looks like the DAY I GOT IT!!! This is good to know in case you get some on the threads over over-fill it.

Scents greatly improve your catch ratio

Not to take any business away from the bait pump guys...but...

I found something that works pretty well if you don't want to spend the 15-20 bucks for a bait pump...


Go to CVS or Wal-Greens - ask them for medicine syringes (my kids get them when they get scrips filled there) - you may have to say "I forgot to get..." - don't know if they'll just hand them out...

But anyway, they are just plastic syringes with a hollow tip (no needles or anything here guys) - and you simply pull the plunger out - load with some nibbles - replace the plunger, and push down - it's a little tougher to get out than the screw version of the pump - but works the same

So for you cheapskates out there like me!!!!!!!!

well, the pump is compact and I just drop it in my pocket while fishing...

I leave nibbles in mine since the day I bought it BUT I got some in the threads and didn't like that so when it ran out this last time I didn't reload it and just soaked it over night in HOT water and soap.

Just how long was that.week or 2 or month or longer?


wannagofishin: I have tried the syringe thing.Was kinda hard to get stuff to come out where it is kinda thick.But sure it will work & I agree alot cheapier (free v/s $20).I just want the pump to try out,have read alot of good reports bout it.
