Moisture inside hardbait

Featured Replies

I bought a 6th sense quake the other day. Went to go test it out. Fished an hour or so. I just went to go hang up my gear, ITS STILL WINTER. I noticed that there was moisture inside the bait. 
 

How do I dry it out? How do I seal it. Does it mater? I don’t want it to get rusty inside. Which has started. It’s a clear-ish bait so I can see it. Wouldn’t be bad if I couldn’t see through it with a light.

Hi Aquarium,

     I'd suspect it may be cracked or something along those lines. Bounce it off of any rocks? May be a factory defect too. Give it a good going over with a magnifying glass? If you can't find anything. Send 6th Sense a email along with a picture or two of the water in the bait and see what happens.

Good luck,

FM

I would think an airtight container with loads of desiccant would dry it out in a day or three. But that won’t solve your bigger problem. I’d do as @Fishingmickeyadvises and hope they send you a new one. Surface tension is a b****, maybe casting has exposed a manufacturing defect.

It’s no a lot, it’s just a few droplets of waters

Nope no rock at this spot. Just some shoreline trees and weeds. Didn’t hit a thing that would have broke it. Not cracked. It was fresh from the package

Send them an email, call them, or return it to where you got it. You might be able to get most of the moisture out, but you won't get all of it. First time it gets hot, that bait is going to expand and ruin the bait. The BB's inside it can rust and create a big mess also. 

Poor sonic weld.  Happens.  I'm sure 6th Sense would replace the bait no problem.

No, if water got in, it and air can get out the same route...

But yes, get it exchanged, as it's defective. I will point out that it's an old surf trick to water load fishing lures, they cast better, run deeper, and rise slower.

Yep. Like the cotton Cordell. I fish the cape cod canal.

LOL. I was cleaning the garage and found 6 shoe boxes full of plugs, there's got to be over a hundred of them, no rhyme or reason, just stacked, another project I won't get to.
