What are you trying to do with it?

[mkeller]

use as a bait lube, I have been buying it from some online retailers, pretty expensive, and at the grocery store is pretty cheap.

Go to the drug store and ask them for some Glycirin. It is a clear oil that has no Oder and is used in makin medicin. Should be able to get it in a small bottle off the shelf. Have used it with anise oil and garlic powder for worm oil for years. Keeps your plastics lubed and from sticking together. I always used to put my plastic worms in a sandwich bag pour a little of that in the bag seal it roll them around in it and just leave them until I used them fishing. Hope this helps. Also you caan try taking some foam ear plugs cut them in small pieces, squeeze them down real tight put in oil let expand then tip your hook with them.

Did you get any from lurecraft? Mixed with oils that are safe with plastisol. So its designed to be used with soft plastics and wont degrade the baits over time!

I also use a little anise as scent and mix it right into the hot plastic mix before injecting the mold. I get mine at Walmart.

Isn't there a differance between anise oil and anise extract?

[65pontiac]

OK, I googled it and found this. The one ingrediant (marked red) would be the last thing you would want on your plastics.

The essetial oil is purer than extract, as anise extract typically contains about 70% alcohol.

Anise oil for fishin' & anise extract for huntin'..........
1 drop anise oil mixed with 1 Tbl spoon vanilla extract equals a good fishin' scent.
1 drop anise extract mixed with 1 Tbl spoon vanilla extract equals a good huntin' scent. (Cover scent) or mixed with corn where legal.
