Another question about oil absorption

Recommended Posts

I've done a lot of reading, but I haven't really seen this answer. I add two drops of oil, and two drops of scent to each bag of plastic. After about a week and a half, the baits have absorbed all the oil. I know this is normal, but is there a way to prevent it? I like my baits to be slick, and oiled up simply for the fishing aspect. I have store brought brands that don't absorb oil after months. Just curious. Thanks!

Mike,

I think you need more stuff. I put my finished baits in a small tupperware container and give them a good squirt of scent. Then I do the shake & bake for about 30 seconds then bag em. They seem to stay slippery for a longer time. Then you can always carry a small squeeze bottle of scent and wive them a little squirt as necessary.

I have battled this problem for a long time. I have used laminated bags from just about every one that I could get them from without ordering them custom. Unfortunatley the result was the same for all of them. I have even tried 4 different plastics and countless types of scents. I am now in the process of custom ordering my bags in hopes that will solve the problem. Unfortunatley the initial cost is high ($9500 for 90000 bags in 3 different sizes, with screen print) but the cost will be worth it if the problem is solved because the shelf life of my baits will be extended greatly.

I would suggest getting a few more quotes. That is high if they are coming out of China.

Yes you are correct. The company is based over seas however they assure me that the bags are being made here in the USA at there plant in New York. The company is Ultra Flex Packaging. As far as the price goes it is lower because we have some other business arrangements with them.
