    Default worm oil


    I am new at this and i have run into a problem..my black is sticking together once i get them into a package...The things i am thinking is maybe i used to much colorant or not enough worm oil......This is happening in the black colors and slab slay'r are really bad for sticking.....So i guess my question is how much worm oil do i need to use in packages of 20. Or do you think something else maybe cause this problem........

    I do it two ways , an artist brush dipped in the oil and swipe the inside the Baggie the other one of my worm oil dispensers has a long needle like nosel and put two drops and rub the baggie sides. Hope this helps. All my grubs stuck when packing thus solved my issues .

    I use a small dedicated plastic tub so I can shake them up after I put about 10 drops for 24 baits. I have one just for scented worm oil also.

    I put about 6 drops of worm oil and 6 drops of anise in the bag before i put the lures in. Take the bag and rub the sides together for about 30 seconds. After that I put the lures into the bag.

    Do the baits feel tacky before you put them in the bags? If they do you have not gotten the plastic up to temperature high enough to convert it completely. Remember too that just reading the temp isn't enough, you need to thoroughly stir the plastic before you inject it. I've never had plastics stick to each other in a bag unless I was short on the cooking temperature or getting a good stirring in on the initial cook. When I bag I add six drops as measured using a Yorker cap, then I add one drop of anise scent.

    Thanks for the tips...I have not notice any being tacky. this is only happening with the ones with black in them and mostly slab slay'rs. This is how I was doing it. I would put 4 to 5 drops of oil in bag and rubbing this when putting the baits in....So it looks like I need to start put more oil in the bags......I always stir up everytime I mix up a batch and everytime I reheat...I have notice that the black is getting runnier than the our colors after I have reheated, kindly thought that I might be getting it a little to hot..........Thanks again for the pointers....
