GB GONE Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Yesterday I packaged up a bunch of baits to marinate in my favorite Upper Hand Hawg Sauce in a ziploc bag. I had bought a box from Wally World and got the generic brand to save a few $$$$$. I went to throw a few extra baits in the bag and could not believe my nose!!!! A pugnant, ammonia type odor from the bag instead of the great crawfish smell : !!! I immediately took the baits out and transferred them into some smaller ZIPLOCK bags I had... No problem a few hours later with any smell. Soooooo..I took a few baits and threw them into these NEW generic zipping bags and waited until the next day....YUCK ...smelled like an old baby diaper .... So beware if you are bagging in the generics...Something from my baits must have been reacting with the plastic in the bag to give off the nasty odor...

nova Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Jim; I've been using generics right along with no problem. We have a store up here called the dollar store. I get ziplock bags for $1. It could be just that particular brand. Don't give up just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthworm77 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Could it be that particular scent in that bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB GONE Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 No as I put the worms in without any scent at all added into the plastic or on the plastic.... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB GONE Posted March 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Can't give a good judgement on my Calhoun's as it is total frothy bubbles when I cook a cup.... I just use that for junk molds or negatives only.... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassassazzin Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Earthworm77, Jim uses nothing but the finest scent available...he'll tell you that himself! UPPER HAND SCENT-MARINADES. In reference to your wondering if the scent had a reaction with his baits....the Scents are all natural and after years of testing...they have never reacted badly to a package of baits ( I marinated many, many brands ) to my knowledge.

earthworm77 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I would like to try Upper Hand if they make an oil based scent I can actually cook into my plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
