kevtherev Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I am using LC shad scent. I know there is not a hard and fast rule, but about how many drops would you add to 1 cup of plastic and is it OK to had to hot melted plastic. Thanks. kevtherev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass-Boys Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I would start w/ apx. 1/2 teaspoon and then see what you think of the smell of the baits 24 hours after you pour. Yes, add to hot plastic just before your ready to pour it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBaits Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Just an FYI a drop is not a precise measurement, but in general there are about 30 drops in 1/2 teaspoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigdestroyer Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I just use a dropper full for 4-6oz. Fill the dropper and squeeze it into the plastic. I know it is not percise, but the baits have scent and catch fish. That's really all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I just "squirt" some on when the baits are setting up. A "squirt" is even a less precise unit of measure than a drop . Sorry, JD I just had to.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobv Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I assume most of the scents are an oil based product, can they be used as worm oil on finished baits? How much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 put as much as you want its that simple. if you think you did not add enough add more if you think you added to much add less. i depends on the scent on how potent it is. i use pure anise and use a 1/4 eye dropper in the plastic then i put a couple drops in the finished bats and they smell good enough to eat.

COBRA Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 i add scent depending on how much plastic, i guess over so many years i just know, my baits stink! about 1.5 teaspoon to 5-6 oz of plastic? i would have to actually look at my pouring cup. then if i reheat i hit the plastic with some more, and my worm oil has more scent in it.

kbbaits Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I never have added scent to the hot plastic,:?The way the stuff stinks I allways thought by putting it into the bags of werms it would soak in and be good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
