just fishing them or are they laying in direct sunlight? Depending on the
flake in the bait it could be bleeding in direct sunlight after a while,
also concentrated salt in the baits will rise to the surface on certain
baits when they get heated up, thus changing the color, salt lightens up
colors in baits when exposed to heat

I have noticed that while using the Fat Ikas, in watermelon especially,
they turn almost a brown/reddish color which is noticeable in the skirt
"hairs" and a bit in the body. This happens after a half hour or so it
seems.

Is this a reaction with the water, the UV rays from the sun, or both?
I wish they would hold their beautiful green color longer.

I will contact Yamamoto about this and see what they say.
