I never dyed baits , before but Bought a 4 pack of Spike It markers and been fooling around with them. I really like the way I can change a single tone worm into a mottled lifelike looking thing . It may not help me catch more fish but they sure look more like a living creature to me. 

 

Anyway , they are on clearance cheap . Will they stay good for several years  or go bad ?

Keeping the caps on & storing them in a zip lock bag, I have a few that have lasted a couple of season so far.

 

Even without the bag deal, I'm thinking they'll be good for a year any way.

 

Nice accent / scent to a bait - And They Do Not Spill . . . .

I got one about 10 years ago and never really used it much. Found it in an old box and still works.  So I wouldnt worry about it drying up, as for how much ink, im not sure.  But if its on clearance, get a pack or two.

I have one in my bag and this will be its 3rd season. As stated before keep caps on tight and in a zip lock bag.

good info. , i''ll pick up a few packs .

I have one in the garage that is a good 10 years old. Still works fine.
