The Dutchman Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Am interested in a coffee scent for baits. Has to be something I can use in hot plastic. Have done google search. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I have used coffee scents for 20 years, it does work. I got the scents from a friend that worked at a ink producer. It is oil based and mixes with hot plastic. The company name on the bottle is Ungerer Company, I found them online but never contacted them.You might try to google fragrance producers also. Let use know what you find out,by the way the bacon flavor far outdoes the coffee for me. sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ute Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 I read the same article and thought, you must be kidding!. But I had a bag of hand poured 4" finesse worm laying on my work station so I dropped a pinch of fresh coffee into the bag. Last Thursday I rigged one on a drop shot, and started catching Smallies right away. Did it have anything to do with the coffee? I don't know. Will I try it again?You bet!

jmik26 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Right or wrong I took some coffee grounds and poured them in my plastic and it worked. I used about 1/4 cup of grounds to 1 cup of plastic, smelt good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmik26 Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 LMAO.... My buddies exact words, "good lord what is this world coming too"... I agree it does sound funny but I imagine some people said the same for salt, garlic scent, glitter, etc... many years ago. I Figured it wouldn't cost anything to try it so I did.

MDC Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Someone posted about this a month or so ago and like Jeff I tried it. It won't be the last time. I've placed 2nd in two of my last three tournaments. Haven't told anybody in my club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeeterfisher Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 can you imagine how hard a smallie would fight after a "cup" or two of coffee senkos.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 ha ha ha... My buddy was joking around saying that every bass I caught was the same one following me around. If anything it was some good laughs out on the water... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madtrapper Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Guys you could make your own by using fresh ground coffee and by adding either moonshine or glycerine oil or propylene glycol. Anyone of these will aborb the smell of the coffee. I used these in making lures for trapping for years. Allow this to set up for a couple weeks in mason jar. Don't screw the lid down to tight and I set it where it couldn't break or fall off and break etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncleskippy Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Madtrapper is right about using fresh coffee. You need to grind your own beans to keep the essential oils from the beans. I am going to use just worm oil for my liquid and let sit for a week to permeate. Uncleskippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman35 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I've seen coffee extract or coffee oil at cooking places... Instant coffee might be an option too... Mister twister had banana scent sometime ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I bet you could use the softner to extact the coffee scent to add to the plastic. I'm going to try it; I'll let you all know how it works out. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastorshane Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Hey guy's, I got some coffee fragrence from a woman I know who makes candles. I tried it just like any other scent and it worked great. You might give this a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I tried instant coffee in the softner and it wasn't doing much after a couple of days. I then figured that if I heated it, it might dispurse the oils. Wrong; I put it in the micro and voila, out came a gummy mess. The coffee all bunched together and floated. It was really sticky. I tossed that and got some "real" coffee. This seem to be better. 3 days on a sunny windowsill and it leached out pretty good. I'm now letting it drip through a coffee filter(slow process). I'll let you all know how it works out. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I know Swamp; but I like to mess around with things like that. You'd be surprised what you can discover/learn by doing that. It does ruin some product at times but I have found out things that I would not have otherwise. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmik26 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I threw in the ground up unbrewed grounds just like I would my salt. They scent has been lasting about 3 weeks and is still very strong. If they sit in the sun and get warm the smell is even stronger. I put 1/4 cup of grounds to 1 cup of plastic. It also stiffened up the bait a little. I tried these with green pumpkin and the color came out good but I can imagine there would be a problem with lighter colors. Maybe your on to something Nova, I would be interested to hear how it works out for you.....Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallie Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Be careful with the coffee extract. I bought Anise extract at the grocery store when I was first starting to pour and it was water based. I haven't seen coffee extract but you should check the ingredients before using.

nova Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Update on the coffee in the softner. I haven't used it yet but it took 2 days for the softner to leach through the grounds and the filter. Softner has a slight brownish tinge to it but the smell is pretty strong. I also had a revilation this morning. I should have talen the coffee and put it in the filter; tied it off with a twist tie; and dropped it into the softner to "brew". Oh well; I guess that's what experimentation is all about; lol. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
