i finally bought some.  my dippy jar in a kayak is too exciting.    i wanted the Chartreuse so i could doll up a swimbait, but it came with orange as well in the 2-pack.  i think i can handle what is essentially a highlighter.   but orange?  i think pink would have been the better pairing.

 

are there other marker pens?   brands?  better or worse?

 

i might write, "please bite me in yellow" on my swimbait. 

I'll use an orange Spike-It marker from time to time when I'm flipping a creature bait around shallow.

I keep a zoom chartreuse dye marker pen in my bag. Just for a tail tip highlight here or there on a plastic. Or maybe craws on a beaver/craw worm. 

I have a set of the markers. They're ok. The dye doesn't last as long as the dip. I like using them on transparent swimbaits like the 3in Hazedong Shad.

yeah but if you’re using them for soft plastics and catching fish then the bait doesn’t last as long as the dye. 

I gave it a hue job. 
 

Where did you purchase sticks at ? 

Local store. 

I really lke the markers.  You can get a subtle hue with just a few dabs or you can go darker.  I have the Chart/Red marker, but dont sleep on orange.

I use the chartreuse markers extensively. I just color the top half  of a soft plastic, no matter the color. It gives the worm a two tone appearance which I like. The fish dont seem to mind. It doesnt turn the  bait chartreuse. For instance on a june bug bait, it changes into  a two tone  turquoise and june bug.  Plus theres a garlic smell. Dont know if thats a plus or not but I catch lots of bass with it.
