Mad Moose Baits Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 How much of this stuff do you need for lures? I bought a bag of swimming craws and noticed the licorice smell (anise oil) and was wondering how hunch you need to use. I'd like to fiddle with make some plastics of my own, but I'm not to keen on hot burning stuff so I may change my mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I use just a few drops to help with the bagging of my plastic baits. The worm oil acts as a lubricant on the outside of the bait so they'll slide easily on the bag and against each other in the bagging process. That said, if you get a DINP based scent, you can do the same thing with it plus it adds scent to the baits. DINP is a plasticizer that will leech the scents into the baits. Most of these scents are made with essential oils and it takes very little of it to do the job. They cut it with worm oil so we can use it in bait making and plastics.
