Daiwaman23 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Anyone other than me tried this? When you flour your saly wither add some garlic powder or garlic salt..In SMALL AMOUNTS it works quite well and have had good success. Also have used white pepper for grins..has a scent and is no more color tainting than salt...Just a thought..maybe im an idiot lol :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I've used garlic powder. It woks quiet well in dark colors. It will dis-color some light colors. The biggest problem was it kind of boiled for a few seconds as it dissolved in the plastic. After it finished it's thing it poured fine and had a strong garlic scent.

Fleury9816 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 After a few initial trials at pouring for the 1st time these past two weeks. I gave the garlic powder a try myself and I have to say it worked quite well and your right, the scent is great. What are the best options for getting rid of the plastic smell of your homemade baits.

Senkosam Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 What are the best options for getting rid of the plastic smell of your homemade baits. Store baits in scented oil in plastic bags. The other thing I might try is to heat scented oil in the microwave (not too hot) and dip every bait or heating the plastic bags containing oiled baits for 5 sceonds. Spike-It garlic-scented dye works this way by melting the surface slightly to allow color and scent to mix in. Once the plastic dries, the color and scent are sealed into the surface. (I discoverd this that when dipping grubs and then immediately rigging on jigs, the plastic became soft and fragile near the hook and wouldn't allow the grub to stay up on the jig. Same for T-rigging worms when rigging before the dye dries completely and all excess is dry.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
