J. M. Richardson Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Hey guys, Looking at picking up a couple of bottles of JJ's magic. Never used dyes before and need some advice. How do you use them and where does this stuff work most effectively. I was thinking of getting a three bottle order of clear, chartruese, and metholyated Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 11, 2010 Super User Posted March 11, 2010 Some guys use it for a dye, but lots of us just use JJ's as an attractant. I use it on jig trailers, at home and outside. If you keep your treated baits in their original bags, the stink is contained. No reapplication is required. If you travel with JJ's Magic, be VERY careful. If it gets hot it might explode. If you spill it, you have to live with the smell and the stain. 8-) Quote
J. M. Richardson Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 Thanks roadwarrior. I have heard nothing but good things with JJs and really want to try it out. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted March 11, 2010 Super User Posted March 11, 2010 Words to the wise. DO NOT OPEN IN THE HOUSE! You will really regret it. But if you do, you won't have to worry about vampires....ever. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted March 11, 2010 Super User Posted March 11, 2010 No, I haven't used JJ's, but have used dyes. One thing I prefer to do is keep a few Q-tips in my bag and use them to apply the dye to my baits. I used to dip them but its kind of a pain to get certain appendages and such in the bottle plus all the accidents I've had with drips and spills. Quote
MNGeorge Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 I would get the 4 bottle order...2 bottles of clear. Once you see how effective JJ's is, you'll be dipping all your soft plastics whether you want to dye them or not. I use clear abour 3 to 1 vs. the colors. Pay special attention to the warnings about it's use and storage...they are all true. Quote
21farms Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 JFYI, it was posted a couple of weeks back that blood red is now available...not on the website yet but you can place your order via phone and request it. i'd think that is more useful than metholiate. Quote

Super User CWB Posted March 12, 2010 Super User Posted March 12, 2010 The best way to use it is when you are in someone else's boat. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted March 12, 2010 Super User Posted March 12, 2010 The best way to use it is when you are in someone else's boat. CWB, I typed the same reply as you, almost verbatim, so decided to delete my original post. In any case I fully concur, JJ's Magic is ideally used in someone else's boat and preferably on someone else's lures Roger Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 I like the clear one. I dip all of my jig trailers in it. Quote
