    Default Dry Jigs


    I have let several of my plastic jigs dry out and wondered what might be a way to refresh them, if you can?

    Would appreciate any recommendation.

    They spray it on as an attractant for salmon in Oregon. Couldn't believe it when i saw it. And before anybody says it has fish oil in it, don't. That was an urban legend and was never true according to WD40 spokesman and Snopes.

    I put mine in a zip lock bag....shoot a couple sprays of PAM cooking spray in the bag. Then close the bag.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    I like the Pam idea better. Seems much more environmental friendly, but maybe not.

    Buy another bag!!.Cheaper than minnows!! mineral oil in zip lock bags are the original bag they came in works best for us.

    I only keep a limited amount in my boat . Rest are in my office out of the sunlight and heat . Too many folks keep all their plastics in the boat and heat which causes the colors to fade and harms the plastics . I been meaning to ask the plastic makers because read on the net where mineral oil was not suppose to be good for plastics ? I had bought a bottle of the stuff but not used it after reading that. I used to use cheap fish scents with ainse oil to help slide tubes over jig heads .

    thanks all. gonna head to Conway for a few hours in the morning. gonna spray a few with Pam, a few with wd49, and soak a few in mineral oil. c which actually catches a crappie (assumes I would actually catch a crappie at Conway, which is not very likely for me).
