I have let several of my plastic jigs dry out and wondered what might be a way to refresh them, if you can?
Would appreciate any recommendation.

WD 40 !!!!!!
hmmm, never entered my mind!
and crappie actually like WD40??
They spray it on as an attractant for salmon in Oregon. Couldn't believe it when i saw it. And before anybody says it has fish oil in it, don't. That was an urban legend and was never true according to WD40 spokesman and Snopes.
I put mine in a zip lock bag....shoot a couple sprays of PAM cooking spray in the bag. Then close the bag.
I like the Pam idea better. Seems much more environmental friendly, but maybe not.
Buy another bag!!.Cheaper than minnows!! mineral oil in zip lock bags are the original bag they came in works best for us.Quote:

I had bought a bottle of the stuff but not used it after reading that. I used to use cheap fish scents with ainse oil to help slide tubes over jig heads .
thanks all. gonna head to Conway for a few hours in the morning. gonna spray a few with Pam, a few with wd49, and soak a few in mineral oil. c which actually catches a crappie (assumes I would actually catch a crappie at Conway, which is not very likely for me). :pray
good advice nimrod. thanks. and I do keep all mine in the boat in clear plastic containers. will stop that immediately!Quote:

just went outside and sprayed all the jigs I had left in the boat with Pam. However, it showed Canola Oil, not vegetable oil, so we shall see.

WD 40 also work as a attractant be using it over 30 yrs...
Canola oil is considered a vegetable oil.....it is extracted from rape seed.Quote:
