Baitman0928 Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I just got my anise and garlic scent in. My question is when do i add the scent and how much do i add? I was think of pouring a little of each into the plastic before i heat it, and then maybe a little more when i bag them? Am i close? Whats the best way of doing this?

Bass-Boys Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 For Me,,, I like to add the scent just before the plastic is ready to pour,,, then also a small amount in the bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I usually pour some scent in right before I pour also. When I demold and lay the baits out I squirt the majority of the scent on. The next day I just mix the baits around a bit and bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbass Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 For Me,,, I like to add the scent just before the plastic is ready to pour,,,then also a small amount in the bags. Same for me. I don't measure the amount I put in the plastic though. I just add to taste, or is it smell? You get the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorlings Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I put it in right before I pour and then again when I package them up. I measure out the amount I put in because he scent I use throws the colors off a little but it is a great scent!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ohhh Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 This is my biggest issue ... when I add it before pouring either I had too little (still a very strong plastic smell) or add too much (plastic becomes tooooooo soft). On an average of 4oz of plastic ... what would you say is the "right amount" ... 1/4oz, 1/2oz, 1oz, etc.... Just curious ... no need to give out secret recipes.

Richard Prager Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 When I put some in before I pour, I'm guessing it would be about one drop per ounce. You really should not be getting a strong plastic smell with or without scent. Maybe your overheating (scorching) your plastic. I personally feel that you are benefiting more by "marinating" your baits while they are setting up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdooradvantage Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I usually add 4 drops to 4 oz of plastic before pouring, and 6 to 8 drops to bag when packing them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbass Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 152 and ODA, Are you guys using upperhand scent? I use a whole lot more than a drop per ounce but it is not upperhand. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhorlings Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I use Uppperhand Scent Coffe & Anise and I use a lot more than a drop or two also. I use probably a full teaspoon per 4 oz of plastic while pouring and then a drop per bait when I shake them up before packaging them.
