FLIPPY Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Hey..to my pouring freak friends..Happy Thanksgiving!! I have a question on scents..has anybody ever added vegetable oil to hot plastic? I have a fish formula and was wondering if I could simmer it in vegetable oil And then add the oil to my plastic while it's in liquid form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Some say it hardens the baits but I've never had any problems during testing. It could be the type of plastic I've been using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATFLATTIE Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Ask yourself this question....is it really worth the time and effort to save a few bucks on scent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLIPPY Posted November 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 They don't make scent like I want to make..I have been soaking my baits in this concoction I make and makes anything I ever tried or used a waste of time..lol..fish grab it instantly!! And even if I sting them they immediately return for it..I just wanted to put it in the bait..I had a buddy field test the scent..LOL..he soaked a gummy worm in it..and caught 2 largemouth bass on them in a half hour..3 lb plus..just a little hint to you guys..Freshwater fish LOVE seafood!!!!

goldenshinner Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 There was a link or two online suggesting that most sents are not perceived much by fish only humans.. Which would make sense.oil and water don't mix..power bait uses thick water soluable dents that do dissolve..even so I somewhere read that fish are able to detect oxidize and aged materials,such that your home brew extract no doubt is superior to Shelf stuff,but it may not age well..also at heat temps of plastics most organic compounds will be damaged and break down..applying to outside of plastic won't penetrate..with powerbait the plastic is different and will absorb... In your Candi excersise,it would absorb...(I've tried same with good results))... Also there is a online reference to boiling shrimp powder to make axtract.

goldenshinner Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Flipy I am experimenting with extracts myself..I'll private message you..ideally we need physiology lab with osciliscope and partislaly decapitated fish to test...I've done this before...not a lot of gear to test species.just putzy to set up... Fish physiology 101...ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 If your scent is plasticizer based it surely will absorb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMc1 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 with powerbait the plastic is different and will absorb Gulp is a waterbased material, the plastic in the powerbait line is no different than what we use, they've just added the powerbait scent to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenshinner Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 The stuff I'm talking about drys out like styrophone and is light and crispy.you can't easily rehydrate.it ships in liquid jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallmouthaholic Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I cook all my commercially available scents into the plastic-some believe it is cooked off. Good ,commercial scents do not. As always,the bass have the final say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenshinner Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 ok, we have visited this topic before, but always interested, what board has to say...what is the best scents. not a list of all manufacturers. does anyone feel one sent is beter from one maker than another. my feeleings are that many i have tried produce no difference in reaction. on this topic i will add, that i used to fish with an amature angler on river. he would take one big jig stick between his crack for a bit,..yes not typo, his butt crack. hook on, toss out in middle, lay back and would get one small flathead catfish almost every evening... i dont fully know how or why this works for him. i have tried same expermient and never had one. yet he continues to get good results. i suppose one crack is better than another...we were fishing walleyes with white twisters and getting them, he just has to be different.

mark poulson Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Personally, that is not the kind of crack I would want in my boat, and I certainly wouldn't do any dipping in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Mark, there is a crack with you whether you like it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 I have recently started using BJ's fish sauce and am really liking it so far. Check out his page on Facebook as well as his main webpage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
