Quick take

A water treatment that removes chlorine and conditions bait storage water to keep worms and minnows alive longer.

The Sure Life SL104 Better Bait is a 12-pound container of white water conditioner for keeping live bait in buckets and wells. It is formulated for soft-scaled baitfish such as fathead and Missouri minnows. Its conditioning mix is meant for tap water, removing chlorine and heavy metals and adding electrolytes, and the treated water turns blue.
