bribass Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Just looking for some help on your favorite scents. I have a couple and I just don't think they are strong enough. I don't want to name companies though just looking for your opinions. I add scent during cook and during bagging and once its absorbed by the baits I feel they don't have much scent at all. At the same time I don't want to add too much scent because of all the oil you're adding and also the cost. Any options/ideas? Thank you Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffhill Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Lurecraft garlic is by far the strongest scent I have. It will stay on a bait for hours in the water when everything else disappears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Brian I would stop cooking it in, a good percentage will be burning off. Coat your baits after with a worm oil based scent like Bear's, Lurecrafts or SpikeIt's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveMc1 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Does adding salt to the melted plastisol help it to absorb scent that you put into the bag? No, it is the use of Worm Oil (DINP), a plasticizer used to make the plastic that allows the scent to be absorbed in the plastic. My experience is the worm oil acts as a carrier to get the scent in. It will be absorbed whether or not you have salt in your plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsworms Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I always cooked the scent in the plastic with no problems, but I think the key is to add the scent just before pouring or injecting. When the mixture was about 20 seconds from being ready, that's when the scent went it. Some of my favorites were Pro Cure garlic & anise, Upper Hands "Hawg Sauce," and LC crawfish........

Apdriver Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I have had some issues with the hawg sauce from UHS. My issues have been with bagging and storing my baits with it though. Might work out fine cooking it in. Let's just say, there's a shelf life and leave it at that. DINP based is what you want for longer term storage.
