bassn1 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Any one else have this problem? After I oil/spray my baits and bag them, a few weeks later it seems that the plastic has absorbed the oil and turned the plastic hard. I've used worm oil, Pam and now I'm trying Kick 'n Bass garlic oil. Any pointers or other products I should use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlybass Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I gave a few, that I poured, to a buddy who uses BANG and the worms shrank and got hard.The plastic was MF.I have a vague recolation that mineral oil based scents can react.Hopefully,somebody has more info but if all else fails-call plastic manufacturer.

Delw Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I know kicken bass works very well. the other stuff I have no idea about. Some plastics will get harder by useing vegtable oils, or any sents with vegitable oils in them. Delw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charkins Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Use worm oil such as Lure Craft's worm oil. It won't hurt the worms or the package. That's what I use. Calvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassn1 Posted May 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Thanks for the advice guys, I ordered some worm oil from LC. M-F has worm oil and Plastic lubricant. Can any one tell me what the difference is other than the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuMMeRBaits Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I use LC's Worm Oil and Scents and have not had this kind of problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemmy Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Bassn1- I too have wondered about the difference between the oil/lubricant/softener, if you do a search of forums you should find my post...I never really found out, Del had offered to find out from his Calhoun supplier, but I never heard back... As for keeping softness, I use a drop of plastic softener in the bag along with the scent, although you might to make a test to make sure it won't eat thru you're bags that you use...

Senkosam Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I use Original Fish Formula and haven't had any problems. Far cheaper than LC's and it smells better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I did. sorry Calhoun wouldnt tell me the chemical make up. its a propriotory oil. I can understand that , becuas ethen thier competators would go and buy the supplies and make it them selfs , they would loose sales.
