My Dad was a golfer. Never heard of worm oil nor bait bags. I am going to start making baits and do have quite a few hanging out in various locations. Ordered worm oil, have anise oil and the juice that comes with Gulp Alive. What would you think of putting them in the Gulp juice for a few days before putting them in scented bait bags?

I found that out the hard way about five years ago. I am glad I was wearing protective clothing, boots, welding gloves and protective eyewear. I do not care what people say when I dress like that to do plastic lures. I dress in protective gear so I will not get burned again!!!

NOW Foods - the official site of NOW Foods Click the link and find essential oils. I think I paid about $6.00 per bottle and the shipping was free. I got two bottles about four years ago and still haven't found the bottom of the first bottle. This oil is super, super potent.

Look in any grocery store or Walmart where the salt and pepper etc is. Really inexpensive. A $5 bottle will last you about a year. Bob..I do not believe it is legal to contaminate public waters with WD-40 scented baits. I would advise people NOT to use it especially when other legal scents and anise are cheap and readily available.
