Dynamite Baits Predator Deadbait
XL Liquid Predator attractant
A blood-red predator booster for deadbaits, lures and a fair few coarse-fishing favourites. Handy stuff, but the product name supplied doesn’t quite match the checked details.
- 250ml squeeze bottle of blood-red liquid predator attractant.
- Intended for pike, perch, zander and catfish.
- Suitable for boosting deadbaits and lures, with other uses including pellets, groundbait, maggots, corn and meat.
- Described as PVA-friendly, making it suitable for selected bags, mesh or baiting applications.
Make sure it’s the right one. The supplied product name says “Dynamite Baits Predator Deadbait”, while the checked details identify Dynamite Baits XL Liquid Predator attractant. This review follows the checked details and treats the product as the 250ml squeeze-bottle liquid booster, not a ready-made deadbait.

Who it suits
Is it right for you?
Great for
- Pike and predator anglers fishing deadbaits. It gives deadbaits an extra scent trail and is simple to apply before casting out.
- Coarse anglers who like adding a predator angle. The liquid can be used with meat, maggots, corn, pellets or groundbait when perch, zander or catfish are on the cards.
Maybe skip if
- Anglers wanting ready-to-use deadbait. This is a liquid attractant, not the bait itself. You’ll still need suitable deadbait or another offering.
- Anyone wanting a subtle, low-scent presentation. The liquid is described as having an intense scent, so it may not suit a very understated approach.

Quick verdict
A handy little predator booster
If you’re after a strong-smelling liquid to perk up deadbaits, lures or coarse baits, this looks like a proper useful bit of kit. The blood-red liquid and squeeze bottle make it simple to apply, while the PVA-friendly description opens up a few neat rigging options.
Just make sure you’re buying the right thing. This is an attractant, not a pack of deadbait. It won’t replace a decent bait, sensible presentation or finding the fish, but it could give your offering a cheeky extra edge when the water’s coloured or the predators are switched on.

The full rundown
Everything you'll want to know about the Dynamite Baits Predator Deadbait
There’s something properly appealing about a little bottle of predator attractant. No massive bucket. No complicated faff. Just a squeeze, a decent deadbait, and you’re ready to get a bait into the margins or out towards the far shelf. Dynamite Baits’ XL Liquid Predator is aimed squarely at that job.
The checked version is a 250ml bottle of blood-red liquid, supplied in a squeeze bottle. That’s a handy format on the bank. You can keep it tucked in the bait bag, add a touch when you need it, and avoid tipping half the bottle over your hands, tackle box and fleece. We’ve all had enough of that sort of carry-on.
Its headline use is boosting deadbaits for pike, perch, zander and catfish. That makes sense when you’re fishing static deadbaits and want to add a stronger scent trail around the offering. It won’t turn a duff bait into a miracle bait, mind, but it can give you another string to your bow when the water’s coloured or the fish are moving slowly.
The scent is described as intense, which is exactly the sort of thing predator anglers often look for. Pike and catfish in particular are frequently targeted with bold, oily or meaty bait profiles, while perch and zander can respond well to a carefully presented offering. The trick is not to go full mad scientist straight away. Start with a modest application and build from there.
The blood-red colour is also worth mentioning, although it shouldn’t be treated as some magic visual trigger. On a deadbait, it may add a bit of colour to the juices around the bait. On other offerings, it could make the bait look different in the water. Whether that helps will depend on clarity, light levels, the venue and how the fish are feeding.
This isn’t just a deadbait product, either. The liquid is described for use with lures, pellets, groundbait, maggots, corn and meat. That opens up some cracking options for the coarse angler who might be targeting a mixed bag but still wants to tempt a proper stripey, zander or catfish if one comes nosing in.
A little added to meat could be useful when you’re fishing a margin line or a boat-channel edge. Mixed into groundbait, it may help create a more noticeable scent patch. With maggots or corn, the sensible approach is to keep the amount controlled and make sure the bait still behaves properly on the hook. No point creating a stink cloud if the bait falls off before the rods are even clipped up.
The PVA-friendly description is another useful touch. It means you can look at liquid-loaded bags or mesh presentations without immediately writing the product off. That said, always consider how your chosen PVA reacts and avoid making a sloppy parcel that won’t reach the deck. A neat little bag beside a deadbait or hookbait can be a dead handy way to concentrate attraction.
The one thing to clear up before buying is the product identity. The name supplied says Dynamite Baits Predator Deadbait, but the checked details describe XL Liquid Predator attractant, with product references DB-XL860 and ADY040860. So check the label and listing carefully. You’re looking at a bottle of liquid booster here, not a pack of actual deadbait.
Used with a bit of restraint, it looks like a versatile addition to a predator or coarse bait bag. It’s not a substitute for finding the fish, choosing the right trace and presenting the bait safely. But when you fancy giving a deadbait, lure or meaty hookbait a cheeky extra nudge, this sort of liquid can be spot on.

Our take
More than just a deadbait drizzle
The obvious use is boosting deadbaits for pike, zander, perch or catfish. A little liquid around the bait can add scent without covering the fishery in faff. It’s also described for lures, pellets, groundbait, maggots, corn and meat, so it isn’t locked into one predator approach.
The main appeal is versatility. You can use it on a deadbait rig, work it into coarse bait for a mixed-species session, or add a touch to a lure when you want to experiment. Just go steady at first. Intense scent is useful, but drowning everything in it can be a bit much.
What you’re buying
A squeeze bottle with plenty of jobs
This is a 250ml liquid bait booster, coloured blood red and supplied in a squeeze bottle. The format is simple and bank-friendly. Add it to a deadbait, brush it onto a lure, or work a small amount into another bait when you want more scent around the hook.
The intended predator list covers pike, perch, zander and catfish. It’s also described for pellets, groundbait, maggots, corn and meat, so you can use it beyond a traditional deadbait session. That makes it more flexible than a product aimed at one single bait type.
Worth knowing. The supplied product title and checked product details don’t fully match. The checked information points to XL Liquid Predator attractant, not ready-made deadbait. Check the bottle, product code or retailer listing before parting with your quid.
Best bank uses
A useful extra in the bait bag
It suits predator anglers who already carry suitable deadbaits and want to add another scent option. A small amount around the bait can be useful when fish are proving cagey, the water has colour, or you’re trying to make a static offering stand out from the rest.
It also suits coarse anglers who enjoy keeping their options open. Meat, corn, maggots, pellets and groundbait can all be given a predator-style boost, while lure anglers can experiment with adding scent to their presentation. Keep things tidy and don’t over-apply.
For PVA work, the product is described as PVA-friendly. That gives you the option of using it with bags or mesh close to the hookbait, but the key is a neat, controlled parcel. If it turns into a soggy mess, you’ve created more faff than attraction.
Quick answers
The bits anglers usually want to know
Can it replace deadbait? No. It’s an attractant, so you’ll need to supply the actual bait, hook, trace and suitable predator setup. Think of it as an extra layer rather than the main event.
How much should you use? There’s no need to drown the bait. Start lightly, see how the presentation behaves, then add more if needed. Intense scent can be useful, but subtlety often saves a session when fish are wary.
Can it be used in mixed coarse fishing? Yes, according to the checked use guidance. Pellets, groundbait, maggots, corn and meat are all listed. That makes it handy for anglers who might start after a few bites and then switch tactics if a predator shows.
On paper
Pros & cons
What we like
- Strong, intense scent aimed at several predator species.
- Useful across deadbaits, lures and coarse baits rather than being a one-job bottle.
- Squeeze-bottle format should make controlled application straightforward.
- PVA-friendly description gives you more options around bags and mesh.
Worth knowing
- It’s easy to overdo a strong liquid attractant, especially on delicate baits.
- An attractant won’t make up for poor bait presentation or fishing the wrong water.
- The supplied product name is unclear, so check you’re ordering the liquid booster rather than an actual deadbait product.
