Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Commercial coarse anglers who like making small bait adjustments. You can treat a separate portion of pellets, meat or maggots without committing all your feed.
- Anglers wanting colour and flavour together. One powder handles both jobs, with three clearly different pairings to choose from.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers who want to change colour alone. Each dye comes with its own flavour, so you can’t separate those adjustments.
- Anyone happy with a simple, consistent bait routine. It adds another preparation step without any guarantee that your swim needs the change.

Quick verdict
A handy tweak, not a shortcut to bagging up
Shake ’N’ Catch makes sense if you like adjusting your feed on the bank. You get colour and flavour together, with a shaker top that lets you apply a little rather than immediately giving the whole bait tub the full treatment.
The catch? Colour and flavour are paired, and neither fixes poor feeding or a badly presented rig. Treat a small batch first, keep some plain bait back and let the bites decide whether it earns a regular place in your bag.

The concentrated powder and adjustable-flow tub make a well-considered package for treating everyday coarse baits.
Instant-acting, long-lasting dye and three distinct flavour pairings give it a clear role in bait preparation.
It offers a useful bait adjustment, but extra bites depend on fish response, feeding and presentation.
Adjustable sprinkle holes simplify application, although feed needs pre-dampening and the dye needs careful handling.
Its use across pellets, meat and maggots adds versatility, but it remains an optional purchase rather than an essential.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Dynamite Baits Shake 'N' Catch Colour & Flavour Enhancer
Sometimes you don’t want a completely different bait. You just want the pellets already in your bait tub to look a bit different, or your meat to carry another flavour. That’s where Dynamite Baits Shake ’N’ Catch fits. It’s a highly concentrated powder dye and flavour enhancer, supplied in a 260g shaker tub, for applying to pre-dampened feed. No complicated rig change, no new method to learn. Just a way of tweaking what you’re feeding while keeping the bones of your approach the same.
The important bit is that this changes colour and flavour together. F1 Sweet Yellow brings yellow dye and a sweet, creamy F1 flavour. Krill Red gives you red dye with a potent krill flavour, while Spice Orange pairs orange dye with a strong spicy flavour. Nice and straightforward, mate. Pick the combination you actually want rather than treating the names as a promise about which fish will eat it. The F1 label isn’t a guarantee of a netful of F1s, and spicy bait isn’t automatically the answer when the temperature drops.
Pellets, meat and maggots are all suitable, which gives it a useful place in a coarse angler’s bait bag. You could set aside a portion of your feed pellets, prepare a separate tub of coloured meat or give a batch of maggots a different look. The sensible word there is separate. Once you’ve changed the whole lot, you’ve lost your plain-bait option. Keeping some untreated bait back costs you very little effort and stops a cheeky experiment becoming your only choice for the rest of the session.
Application starts with pre-dampened feed, not bone-dry bait. The tub has an adjustable-flow top, with sprinkle holes that allow slow application or faster dispensing. That’s a useful detail when you’re dealing with a concentrated powder: a controlled sprinkle makes more sense than a hefty dump followed by frantic stirring. Prepare your bait appropriately first, then add the enhancer gradually and mix it through. With pellets especially, don’t get so carried away adding moisture that you spoil the texture you need for feeding or loading your feeder.
The dye is described as instant-acting and long-lasting, so a quick colour change is part of the appeal. That doesn’t tell you how every bait will look after every length of soak, though, and it certainly doesn’t put a stopwatch on attraction. Have a look at a small treated batch before committing more. Also, give concentrated dye a bit of respect around pale clothing, seatbox cushions and the car boot. Working over a bait tray is a lot less faff than trying to tidy up an enthusiastic shake afterwards.
On the bank, the useful question is whether a different-looking feed helps your particular approach. If you’re clipped up on a feeder spot, keep your casting and feeding rhythm consistent while trying the treated bait. On the pole, don’t simultaneously change depth, feed quantity and bait colour, then decide the powder did all the work. You don’t need to turn your fishing into homework. Just keep the other bits steady enough to judge whether the change is helping, doing nothing or making the swim harder to read.
Season and fish behaviour still matter more than the label on an additive. In cold water, a carefully judged amount of feed is usually a better starting point than a mountain of highly flavoured bait. When fish are properly on the munch, getting the quantity and timing right remains crucial. Shake ’N’ Catch is an extra adjustment within that routine, not permission to overfeed. Nor will coloured pellets rescue a feeder that won’t empty properly, or flavoured meat sort out a hook bait that’s masking the hook point.
For anglers who enjoy those small adjustments, there’s a clear attraction here: one tub adds colour and flavour to several familiar baits, and the dispensing top helps keep preparation manageable. For someone whose plain pellets already do everything they need, it’s an optional extra rather than an obvious must-buy. That’s the sensible way to view it. Keep your presentation sound, start with a modest separate batch and use the bites as your guide. A useful little bait-bag tweak? Absolutely. A replacement for getting the basics bob on? Not a chance.

Our take
Change the bait, not your whole approach
Its strongest use is giving part of your existing feed a different look and flavour while keeping the basic bait familiar. That’s a manageable adjustment when you’re already fishing pellets, meat or maggots.
Don’t mistake that flexibility for a guaranteed edge. A brighter bait might be useful in one swim and unnecessary in the next; sensible feeding still does the heavy lifting.
What you’re buying
A concentrated powder with a practical shaker top
Shake ’N’ Catch comes in a 260g tub and combines a powder dye with a flavour enhancer. The adjustable sprinkle holes let you slow things down for a small portion or dispense more quickly for a larger batch. That control is useful, though it isn’t a measuring device: follow the pack directions rather than assuming a certain number of shakes suits every bait.
The three options give you distinct combinations rather than independent colour and flavour choices. Sweet and creamy comes with yellow, krill comes with red, and spice comes with orange. Choose around the bait change you want to make. There’s no need to carry all three just because they exist.
Worth knowing. Treat a small batch first and keep plain bait back. The dye acts instantly and is long-lasting, so you shouldn’t plan on easily undoing the colour change if you get carried away.
Your bait routine
Best for the angler who likes a controlled tweak
This is a natural fit for commercial coarse fishing, where pellets, meat and maggots may already feature in your session. You’re changing familiar feed rather than introducing a completely different bait. It’s particularly handy if you prefer preparing a plain starting batch and deciding on any extras once you’re at the peg.
It’s less compelling if your bait routine is deliberately stripped back. There’s another tub to carry, another preparation step and no promise of extra bites. Likewise, if you want yellow bait without a sweet flavour, this range doesn’t let you separate those two choices. Buy it for the combined effect, not half the job.
Before you sprinkle
Preparation, bait choice and picking a flavour
How do you use it? Start with pre-dampened feed, apply gradually through the shaker top and mix. Follow the tub’s dosing instructions. A small bait box is a sensible place to begin, particularly when you’re getting used to how readily the powder dispenses.
What can you put it on? Pellets, meat and maggots are suitable. Keep moisture appropriate to the bait: dampened doesn’t mean swimming. With feeder pellets, check that the finished bait still behaves as you need it to before sending it straight out to your spot.
Which option should you pick? F1 Sweet Yellow is sweet and creamy, Krill Red has a potent krill flavour, and Spice Orange has a strong spicy flavour. There’s no universal winner. Start with the pairing that fits your intended bait approach, rather than assuming one colour or flavour will always outfish the others.
