Bionic Brine - Toughen and Preserve Any Dead Bait

Dead bait breaks down fast. Soft herring tears off the hook mid-troll. Faded ballyhoo lose their flash. Bionic Brine is a powder made from all natural ingredients - fine Solar salt, baking soda, and proprietary additives - that firms up bait skin and restores natural color.

How It Works

Salt draws moisture from the bait through osmosis, toughening the skin and flesh. Baking soda retards enzyme breakdown, preserving color and fresh scent. The fine salt in Bionic Brine dissolves faster than rock salt, creating a more even brine without chunks at the bottom.

Two Ways to Use

• Wet Brine (Best Results): Mix powder with ice water in a container. Add herring, ballyhoo, or other dead bait. Soak overnight in the fridge or on ice. By morning, your bait holds together through cut-plug trolling, mooching, and drop-back bites.
• Dry Application: Sprinkle directly on baits for a quicker treatment when time is short.

Works On Any Dead Bait

Herring, ballyhoo, mullet, mackerel, anchovies, cigar minnows. PNW salmon and steelhead anglers use it to brine herring for Columbia River Chinook and coastal steelhead. Offshore crews use it to prep ballyhoo, mullet, and mackerel for trolling.
