Question for all you inventors

Do you have any DIY ideas for making home made scented worm oil?

I saw this and was wondering. "You still have to start with an oil that's compatible with the plastic. I use regular worm oil to make scented oil using anise essential oil. I've got a bottle of anise essential oil that I have had for ten years and I still have 1/2 of the 1 ounce bottle. I mix about 1/4 ounce with a cup of worm oil and pour some into a bottle that has an eye dropper. 1 drop goes into a bag of baits when I have it ready to send. Depending on the size of the zip lock the baits are in, between 2 and 4 drops of regular unscented worm oil goes in the baits too. ONE drop of the anise scented oil. Kind of get where I'm headed here?

An 8 ounce bottle of worm oil and a one ounce bottle of essential anise oil will last a looooooooong time. Stop and think about the economics here.....worm oil is about the least expensive component of the soft bait making game when one considers just how far the stuff goes and if you're making scented oil you'll be an old old man before you use up that one ounce bottle of anise essential."

I used to spray Bang scent into a bag of Culprit worms and then leave in the sun on the dash for a day. That scent infused into the worms. Man did those bass love them

Slab Sauce applied liberally and don't worry about it, they make more.

We use Pam also regular warm oil and I apply garlic or crawdad anise to it. We buy the worm oil by the gallon the crawdad and Anacin the other we buy in pint bottles which will last you a lifetime. I haven’t tried to experiment with regular cooking oil, which I don’t think it would hurt anything but I haven’t heard of anybody trying it yet.. but if you think about it, Pam is a cooking spray which is probably made out of the same stuff as the cooking oil reviews Pam for mini mini years in making my plastics usually spray on half of the mold so the beach won’t stick to the other side then I’m able to pull details often do a second body.

I use regular mineral oil.

Slab sauce and forget it.

I already put a few drops of slab sauce and anise in my bags of lures. That combination has worked well for me in the past. I was told " It ain't broke so don't go try to fix it."

I just wanted to see what others were using.

Thank you to all who shared their opinion on this thread.

Adding a few drops of anise oil sure makes sense. That's been a proven fish attractant for years.

I use mineral oil in my baits already so now I’ll add some SlabSauce as suggested.

I add mine when it's on the hook.......now if Slab would sell it by the quart for the price of mineral oil, all bets are off.......
