SGriff Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 I have some plastic Twin Tail (Hula Grub Like) baits that were made by Lucky Craft a few years back and marketed as Blaukat's Creature. These are basicly an over sized hula grub. Lucky Craft used a lot of oil on these baits when they were packged. Problem is the heavy amout of oil on the baits cause the large twin tails to stick togather when used on a lead head or behind a jig as a trailer. I have a few that apparently were packaged with no oil and they work loke a charm. Man, these large oversized twi tails can move some water. Anyone have any suggestions as to something I might soak the tails in to help and remove the oil form them? I have tried using some Pro Tec Boat Degreaser on individual baits and then drying them off. Seems to work pretty well but is very time consuming.

millsryno Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 From time to time I will lay some sticks on cardboard to suck the oil out of the plastic. This might help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass4cache Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hot water and Liquid dish soap will remove the oil from the outside of the bait. Leave them out to dry on some paper towels. The cardbaord trick might draw out some more of the oil too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Try kitty litter. It's used to soak up oil spils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
