otisnc Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Do you guys typically have a strong smell to your baits and does it dissipate after aging? Using spike-it soft pour a solid and smell of baits is stronger than I expected. Use microwave and check temperature with infared thermometer, so I know it isn't a overheat problem. Any suggestions, a scent,etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apdriver Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Glad to have you on TU Otis. I try to let my baits cure for a few days, more if I can, and then bag with a little scent. I put 10 to 15 drops in a container with a lid, put my plastics in, and shake them to coat. Makes the bagging easier too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 It goes away. Way more concentrated just after pouring. Or maybe I got use to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otisnc Posted July 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Thanks guys,didn't know if this was normal or excessive. Any difference with different brands of plastisol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 All of them that I have used stink. The fish don't seem to mind though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSNeely Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Thanks guys,didn't know if this was normal or excessive. Any difference with different brands of plastisol? Oh yes, they are all different. Even in the cooking process. Some will smell more than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyeking Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 I've caught fish on plastic same day I poured them, so I don't worry about the smell. It does go away after awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
