No do not use mineral oil, this will dry out your turn hard as a rock.

see I definitely do not know everything guys but we deftly use Pam and how about using fish oil I have never tried it but it might be worthwhile to add it in with your plastics g will any vegetable oil work because it is fairly cheap and I usually buy it by 5 gallons we do a lot of deep frying also use peanut oil don't know if that would be any good or not.

A few drops of Anise, Pam, and Garlic Salt is a great start to add to any ziplock bag.

you are definitely making me hungry I wonder how that smells maybe they have some Italian crappies.

ship, how does it affect the anise when you mix all that. I have a big bottle of anise, maybe I should try mixing up some vegetable oil and garlic in with it

This is one of the things that is fun about fishing...experimenting with different things. A couple years ago Ship and I both played around making up differant concoctions to soak our jigs in or to spray on them.....we used a lot of cod liver oil for our base and then added other things to it. Some of our ideas worked and some didn't...unless you try you will never know.

I used to buy small small plastics like little tails, wedges, etc that were made with some type of anise oil. man did they work good on small ice spoons. If you had them too long they seemed to lose the anise oil flavor, so I would put a few drops of oil on a cotton ball & place it in plastic bag with them. no live bait needed with these.

we always thought about getting crawdads and let them break down to oil and use that oil with our plastic baits because crawdads is a natural owner to most game fish I also wondered about using crappie because it also is a attractant to their same specie for bait we have used cut bait for years when they would not hit anything else so I always wanted to take some fillets and put them in my juicer and try that out I think anything natural smelling such as other creatures in their territory that they are used to eating this smell naturally would be something that they feed on and would strike.
