Bassnutts Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Has anyone ever used olive oil on their bass plastics? Bass like salt and garlic, do they like olive oil too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 That's a good question. Never thought of that one. I'm sure someone will try it if it hasn't been tried before. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delw Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 look for some post from alworms a few years back, if I remember correctly olive oil makes the baits hard or bleed or something. It might be another type of oil to, I just remember them all talking about it a bunch of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveh Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 i read that also about olive oil. i was going to put some garlic concentrate in some and make my own scent spray. i was just thinking may try it with worm oil and add the scent.

alsworms Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 look for some post from alworms a few years back, if I remember correctly olive oil makes the baits hard or bleed or something. It might be another type of oil to, I just remember them all talking about it a bunch of years ago. I ran out of worm oil and tried Johnson's baby oil. NOT a good idea! In less than a week, all my worms were hard as pencils. Never tried the olive oil though. Might be worth a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 The oil that is most destructive to baits is mineral oil. Baby oil is made with it. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassnutts Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Yah I have been using olive oil and I have not had any bad side effects yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Bassnutts have U been mixing in with the pour any ?? or just to package? JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassnutts Posted August 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 I have been using it on my POP molds. I have not tried mixing any of it into the plastic. I have not done very mmuch pouring should I be mixing in some oil when I pour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSC Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 The only reason I asked about using the Olive oil in the plastic was in case U had been using a scent and added it in together ... otherwise no need to add it ot the plastic ... PACKING is the main use. JSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajan Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Cod liver oil was mentioned, that is the first scent oil I ever saw, was sold by Herters in the 60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 If you are adding worm oil to allow for easier packaging, why not just use a few drops of scent? I give the baits a squirt while they're setting up. The next day they are still slick and package easily. Just curious because I've never used worm oil. For myself, there's nothing worse than trying screw on a slippery bait on a shakey head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassnutts Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have been using sented oil and olive oil on my molds just to help release. The only reason I don't like to use the sented is it is also colored. So I use the sented on them after they cool that way they dont suck up the green "stickey liquid".
