You'd be better just buying some wafters the colour you want

Just mix a tiny amount of dye in with a dip or flavour. It will soak in soon enough. I do mean a tiny amount, like the tip of a cocktail stick.

yup, local tescos will have it, or just an angling related one disolved into alcohol and glycerine

my advice is to mix a tiny bit of red in with some orange dye to counteract the yellow base

Any particular alcohol don't really want to change the bait smell

Whatever you have lying around, rum or vodka are more neutral than whiskey though.


Are you sure?
