Brite & Tight Bait Brightener
UV Enhanced Bait Brightener brings your bait to life with an intense, eye-catching shine. Perfect for revitalizing old or frozen baits, it enhances visibility and helps attract more fish. Simply add to your favorite bait, cure, or brine and watch the magic happen!
Works on freshwater and saltwater cut baits, dead baits, baitfish, and eggs – making it a must-have for any angler looking to increase catch rates.
Brite & Tight Herring Cure
Experienced trollers know that properly brined herring lasts longer and fishes better – especially when using frozen bait. Atlas-Mike’s Brite & Tight™ Herring Cure makes brining incredibly simple. Just unscrew the cap, pour into a container or ziplock bag, add your herring, and soak overnight. No mixing, no measuring – easy as it gets.
Brite & Tight not only toughens and brightens your herring for longer-lasting bait, it also enhances performance with powerful dyes to increase attraction. The UV-enhanced formula boosts visibility, giving your bait a distinct advantage – especially in low-light conditions where UV makes the difference between bites and blanks.
Brite & Tight isn’t just for herring. Use it on shrimp, prawns, anchovies, minnows, crayfish, alewife, and more. This easy, no-mix cure delivers consistently prepared bait that gives you the edge professional anglers rely on.
Pro Tip: Squeeze Lunker Oil into Brite & Tight Herring Formula to add desired scent
DYING TIP: Go prepared. Some days salmon want smaller-profile baits, other days larger baits work better. Brine up green label and blue or even purple label herring (very large) using different dye colors.
Chartreuse, for example, can be very effective in deep water or under low-light conditions.
Blue dye has been a favorite among salmon anglers for decades and is still a popular choice.
Sometimes, particularly under bright skies, natural or red works best. Experiment with bait size and colors to optimize your efforts.
