Preserving bait freshness is crucial for successful fishing. One effective technique is to store bait in a cooler with ice packs or frozen gel packs to maintain a cool temperature. Avoid direct contact between bait and ice to prevent freezing. Another method is to use a bait aerator to keep the water oxygenated, which helps maintain bait freshness. Additionally, changing the water regularly in the bait container can also help extend its freshness. Some anglers add a pinch of salt to the water to help preserve the bait. Lastly, keeping bait in a breathable container, such as a mesh bag, can prevent it from becoming soggy and prolong its freshness.
