woodsac Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Looking through the M-F catalog, I noticed that they have worm oil and plastic lubricant. What is the difference, other than the fact that the worm oil has scent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I buy and use their lubricant in place of LC's worm oil. It works just as well, may be a little less viscous, little clearer...WAY cheaper. The scented oil works well also. The garlic is good and strong.

Jackllbass Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I have been using Johnsons baby oil for many years and it works great. You can mix scents in with it also. It is cheap and easy to find. Later<>< <>< <>< <>< Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I was told to avoid baby oil or mineral oil. It tends to suck the chemicals out of plastic that make them soft and pliable. This I assume happens over time. I've never experimented though. I use scent rather than worm oil. It keeps baits soft and slippery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlizard Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I dont see the "lubricant" in the lure craft book. Where is it, or do I have to call. What is the price difference? Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsac Posted August 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 John, LC offers worm oil or scent. M-F offers scented worm oil or lubricant. I was just wondering what the difference was. Is the lubricant just worm oil without scent like LC's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senkosam Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 I use Original Fish Formula and find it's cheaper than M-F or LC. I'm not too concerned with scent, though anise has been a favorite of mine for the years I thought scent mattered. It's a great and easy way to get maximum gloss from a flat-finish cavity when brushed into the cavity just prior to the pour. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 The "lubricant" seems to work about like the LC plain oil. Had some bad early experiences with Fish Formula, think it may be a mineral oil base. You can use the MF scented oil alone, but I cut it into the lubricant to stretch it, with no drop off in stench.
