    Default Homeade "Bait Pump"


    Well every so often my father gets a B12 Injection for his nerve problems in his feet. I asked my mother for the syringe when she was done. I took of the needle, and had the syringe. It goes up to 3", so I dont know how to use it for CC's. Anyway, I filled it up with some crappie nibbles I took from one of my fishin buddies (sorry, whiskerwhipper) and viola! It works like a charm to fill up crappie tubes with scent. Sure beats buying a Bait Pump any day. Wish I had a camera but my sister with her camera is in Raleigh/Duram at the North Carolina School of Mathematics and Science. Oh well.

    Animal syringes come in many different sizes too.
    Diabetics have little syringes like your describing.
    See any pharmicist or Vet for more info on those things. You made a good suggestion there.
    How about a short piece of plastic hose with holes in the sides and Cork's in the ends?
    I just wish I could be better at fishing. Or maybe luckier!:D

    I have 2 of them and the only thing I don't like is trying to hold the bait and the pump and try to screw in the pump to get the nibbles out. Need a third hand so I plan on trying the syringe as well and have one in my boat for just that now. However I don't use that nibble very often so it ma be a while before I find out, but at least I would think it's possible to use the syringe with one hand and you can't do that with the bait pump.

    Oh I guess I should say I use them with a short piece of tubing I slid over the hook on a normal jig and not necessary that it be a tube.

    Default homemade

    We have visited this homemade bait pump thread before so im wondering if some of you who have used alternatives long term can chime in? Also how hard is it to squeeze out nibble from a syringe? Ive noticed the reusable plastic ones that have colored handles seem a little heavier duty.

    I tried useing a injector for turkeys and I found that it is hard to squeeze out the nibblets. I am going to get a bait pump when I come across one.
    can't catch'em at home

    I'm kinda new to the whole crappie scene, but not the shots/animal syringe deal...I'm an ag teacher and have had cattle/horses and the such. If the nibblets are so hard to get out...I know I have read of other attractants working...why not mix something (liquid) in it to allow the nibbles to liquify or gel a bit more to work better in the syringe. I know the nibbles are the best the way they are but even if you mixed a little water or vegi/corn oil in with it, would allow it to liquify and come out of the syringe easier. Also if you were to warm it up would help alot. Just a thought.

But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 25:15

    I have not used the syringe enough to say yea or ney, but it would take a good size one with a large opening on the business end.
