Homemade fish attractant

[M_a_c_k]

Has anyone ever made there own fish attractant that wouldn't mind telling there recipe? I've used Olive oil, craw fish tails, and garlic salt for bass. Whats your recipe?

I haven't done it yet but at the grocery store you can buy those big jars of minced garlic. Was thinking about draining the juice into another jar and using it for scent. Hummm, might just do that today.

Glycerin from drug store. Put tiny bit in sandwich bag, add anise oil few drops. Put in plastics. Seal bag and rub them around. Keeps them slick and shinny sent stays pretty good. Going to try same thing and add garlic powder. You can also use it as a dip. For what ever you are fishing with.

no real ratio but here is what i came up with in the 80s

cooking oil of some kind
a bit of garlic powder(i dont use much at all)
salt (plenty)
couple drops of anise oil

i use a small wide mouth jar to keep it in. then i can just dip my jig in real fast while fishing.
