cheesehead Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 A tip I just read on making your fish attractant into a gel. supplies needed: small jar(s) with a tight sealing lid(s). flux brushes petrolium jelly fish attractants Optional: non iodized salt Garlic salt or powder anise oil anything else that may be used as an attractant? Mix ratio: 25% attractant 75% petrolium jelly Fill a frying or sauce pan with 1/2" of water and place on a camp stove or hot plate over medium heat. Do this outside to avoid smelling up the house. place a soup can with the petrolium jelly in the hot water bath. When the petrolium jelly melts add the fish attractant and/or other ingredients and mix well. pour the mixture into the jars and allow to cool. When on the lake use the flux brush to apply a light coating to your lure or bait. An added plus is that this stays on and doesn't wash off after a few casts.

Fish'nTechnish'n Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Cheesehead, good one. I will have to try that one. I use a small Bingo dabber that has been rinsed out & pour my scent products in. Just wipe on the lure as needed, no drips, no waste.

Ventis Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) Yeah, thanks. I use it so far. After such fishing, the fish is even better and tastier, just for my favorite french fries with help of my best air fryer. I've tried to grill fish and grilled tomatoes, it's the most delicious dish ever. Edited May 20, 2018 by Ventis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
