Painter1 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I would welcome any suggestions for bagging options on bulk quantities of 50 to 250 baits. The bags need to hold up to scented worm oil and would ideally be resealable. I don't know if a twist tie is a good option. I read that ziplock bags won't hold up to worm oil?

Apdriver Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just got this info yesterday. I understand laminate bags are what you want. Here is a link to a supplier that one of the resalers uses. I have not used these yet but plan on ordering within the next few days. http://www.clearbags.com/bags/clear-bags/laminated?p=1 Hope this helps and would like to offer better info than "I heard about these guys".

Apdriver Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I talked to the folks at clearbags and they are going to send me some samples before I order. They have a zip type bag that is 3 times thicker than regular zip locks and made out of polyethelene. This is the same thing zip locks are made of. Maybe some one will chime in on what is best and the most resistant to scents and worm oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little man baits Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have spoken with them as well and they told me that their bags are worm oil and scent resistant I'm looking to get some from them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntt Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 What is the best worm oil to use when putting the baits in the bag.. I have found it very difficult to get the baits in the bag without some type of oil for they are sticky sticky sticky.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I don't know which is "the best" but I bought a quart from MF. Here's a link. http://www.pouryourownworms.com/Plastic-Lubricant_c16.htm Also, your scents are oil based and if you put a bit of scent on them it will lubricate them for easier bagging. The worm oil from MF is scent free. Just lubricant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I take all of my baits and put them in a Tupperware container and then add whichever scent I want plus some worm oil then shake the ever living hell out of the container then let them sit there while coated for about 30-40 minutes and then bag them. If you feel like they need more scent or oil just add a few drops to the bag once you get your baits in there. I found this to be the easiest, most efficient way of bagging for my needs. Also, when I make a bunch of one color for myself or a friend and don't want to divide them all up into multiple bags I stick them into a gallon freezer bag with the pull zip type seal. So far, I haven't had any leaks of scent or oil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I do what Bassinfool does but let the baits sit overnight at least. It amazes me how much scent they will absorb that way. Put a few drops of worm oil in the bag, lay it flat and squish the oil around makes the inside easy to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
