garthsnooks Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 beside anise, shrimp, gartlic et al...what is the base substance(s) used in fishing scents?? Will worm oil work combined with the main components?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipt Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 havent tried it myself, but i have read that worm oil will work just fine. when you cook it apparently it smells pretty gross, so do it in the workshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finesse1331 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 You can use worm oil,thats probably the best thing to use, you can also use olive oil or vegetable oil but those will go bad in time. Like ipt said the worm oil will stink up the house so make sure to cook it outside. I have made a home made coffee,garlic,anise scent and they come out great. I've even experimentede making my own garlic paste to smear on my jigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basskat Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 This is the best Anise oil I've found: http://www.wildroots.com/anise-star-essential-oil-fl-oz-p-4066.html Mix it with olive oil or worm oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garthsnooks Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 BK, site says anise solidifies at 60 degrees...is that a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) I haven't had any issues with it. I cook it in the baits as well as use it in the bag. This stuff is STRONG. A couple drpos is all you need. Edited February 16, 2013 by basskat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
