Abstract
A method for preserving fish bait comprising supplying fish bait and first immersing the bait in a first aqueous sterilizing solution wherein the concentration of said sterilizing solution which comprises an aqueous solution of formalin and the time of immersion in the solution are adjusted to prevent decay via bacterial action and to increase the hardness of the bait. The bait is then removed from the sterilizing solution and immersed in running water to remove substantially residual sterilizing solution which therein provides a hardened sterilized bait. The hardened and sterilized bait is then placed in a container which contains a sufficient amount of a second aqueous solution which comprises on aqueous to solution of a grain alcohol which prevents further bacterial and/or viral decay and which maintains the fish in a hydrated state for use as a bait product.
