Sented baits
Do you add Anise or Salt, maybe both to the soft plastic baits?

I make an anise scent that goes in with bagged baits. I never use salt. The anise scent is more for a cover than actually having fish like it.

I am like ctom I never use salt also I never use a cover sent if I use anything to mask human odor I use crappie nibbles . O I forgot do not add crappie nibbles to your plastic when you are heating it up .

What I had intended to ask is if the Anise would go in the plastic mix before it is shot or poured. Tom could you just 'dip' the bait in a jar of Anise in order to cover scent?Originally Posted by CTom

Waiste of dollars putting it in the hot plastic IMO, Shake them in a container of scent, Let it absorb, and Bag them.

For some reason I always thought it was in the "Gulp Alive" bait. Along with the sauce.

Gulp alive is biodegradeable where plastisol is not.

You certainly can put it in there. Imo its just a waiste of money. As most of it smokes off, i just prefer to put my baits in a plastic box. Shake them around in scent then bag them.

Have to agree with you to a point,
that is until I tried using coffee grounds mixed into the plastisol.
I was skeptic at first, then added about two table spoonfuls to about 4oz of plastisol,
foamed up a bit didn't pour until things stabilized, (have to admit coffee smell sure filled the man cave) let things cool next day bagged them with a little worm oil. to this day if the bag is opened the coffee aroma still there.
Not saying this will work for everyone,
but used bait with coffee grounds, and the same bait without (which I had my fishing buddy use) I won't compare the the tally, but lets say it made me a believer, and you can use the throw away grounds and save $$$$$.
Ones never to old to try something over a cup of coffee and reuse the grounds
