Re: question

I don't think I would. Try a few drops of scent in the bag instead.

Re: question

I agree with Nova, put some scent in the bag. I usually use scent instead of worm oil in all my bagged plastics.

In a word....no. It will stiffen the baits.

Re: Worm oil alternative?

You could order from Zeiner's. They have super fast shipping I ordered on Sunday night it was their on Tuesday. I am only a few hours away (less than 8 hr) so it may take a day longer.

No, like Nova said over time it will harden plastics baits.

Re: Worm oil alternative?

What are you using the worm oil for? If it is for packaging just roll them in salt.
