TNCustombaits Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 Was wondering how to make some fish attractant oils. Want something to be different from all others to go into my bag. No particular scent. I need to know what kind of oil to use as a base and what i can use to make it have a unique smell without ruining my baits, or being harmful to the enviroment. Any suggestions would be apperciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toadfrog Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 1 part pure anise oil 1 part WD 40. worm oil - put 24 or so worms in a sealed glass jar . Set them in the sun . They will atrophy into something like hard noodles leaving an oil in the jar . Take the dry worms out add any vegetable oil 1/2 cup and two tbs. fine salt . mix well . Either of these will work pretty well . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 LOL - or grind your prey sample, disolve in concentrated alcohol, then use fractional distallation to remove the oils. OK, so maybe you should be pretty good with chemistry for this idea. I am, and I am not going to do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I use petroleum jelly and mix in the stuff I want. I smear it on the bait and it stays a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dutchman Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I am with Jig Man. Have used Petroleum Jelly and Powerbait mixed. Melt the Jelly in pan of water, add scent, and smear on lure. Works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 Take a quart or gallon of canola oil; depending on how much you want to make. Pour out about 1 cup of oil for use in the kitchen;lol. Take about 10 cloves of fresh garlic(30 + for the gallon), crush them after peeling. Put them in the bottle of oil. Add about 1 cup of salt( this will preserve the scent)and replace the cap. Set the oil in the sun or better yet, if you have or know someone with a greenhouse, put it there. The longer it sets the better. Once you are happy with the strength of it strain it through a filter. You can use coffee filters or just a wire sive. You can use this system to make any scent; even coffee. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
