    Default oil on plastics?


    I was wondering what kind of oil it is on plastic jigs when you buy them? I have always wondered what they use?

    Hey David,
    Are you spraying them in the bag or just before tossing them in the water?

    the best thing to use is worm oil, lure craft , bass tackle, M F all sell it about 12 bucks a quart. Other oils work but some will react to plastic making it hard as a rock. hope this helps
    In our government-controlled schools we are taught that Lincoln was our greatest president because his war ended slavery and saved the Union. As usual, the other side of the story – the side that reflects poorly on the government – somehow gets lost. – Richard J. Maybury, The Abe Lincoln Hoax

    what do they use for oil is this a mineral oil like I mentioned or something else I would imagine all cooking type oil might work .

    Do Not Use Mineral Oil ...

    To make sure U are using the correct thing ... Use Worm Oil .. Special made for this purpose & available from suppliers of Plastisol products.

    Tried Mineral Oil Years Ago ... not good unless you want to shrink and harden your lures.

    I use anise oil. It is suppose to also be a fish attractant. It works pretty good and is pleasant to smell as long as you do not huff it ha ha.
