I believe macs lose slime like deens lose scales. Lack of O2 and too crowded. That's why buckets are bad, the bait tends to scrape along the wall.

I'm not going to plug the kayatank :shock: Brad already did that 8)

Do a bubble search to find the right amount of bait for your tank. Try 12, then 6 then 9 and see how they hold up. All you need is one lively one.

Also change your bait. Just because it's wiggling when you reel it in doesn't mean it's swimming right on the troll. If a mac doesn't bird nest your spool on the way out - get rid of it.

the old man has spoken.... :roll:
