If scent matters...
« on: 03/07/12 11:27 UTC »
I got a little creative today and added 1 tblspn honey, 1 tblspn salt, 5 drops Hawg & Garlic, a pinch of black glitter, and 10 drops watermelon to 1/2 cup plastic. I expected it to blow up so I used extreme caution. To my amazement it did not blow up, but it did foam and bubble up a lot. The bubbles calmed down a little bit and left a few in the molds. I figured it would be ok though because the fish are going to go crazy for the honey. (Bass love to eat honey bees.lol) The color turned out to be more of a brownins cinnamon look. I will try them out next week on Lake Fork and let you know how they work.
Have any of you tried any "home remedies" for scent?

Isn't it sticky? Guess we will see if bass have a sweet tooth.

I want to dehydrate crawfish and make a powder out of them.  Haven't got to it yet, but i think it will work well.

Well I got to try out "The Honey Badger." (That is what we named it) It managed to catch one fish used as a jig trailer but I was fairly disappointed with the results. I just knew they would swim from across the lake to eat it. Oh well, on to our next experiment!

We dehydrated a number of things with liquid nitrogen back in the 1980's --  ( be very careful; and have someone who knows what they are doing ).  We dehydrated crayfish, worms, crickets, shrimp, shad, catalpa worms, chicken livers, etc..  It is easy to do; IF; you have the exact right equipment and -  Know what you are doing.  I was a bystander.  The shrimp and cricket "dust" seemed to work fairly consistantly in an oil suspension.  The others were more spotty in their performance; of course that could be "operator error".   I had high hopes for the chicken liver "dust" in doughballs; but it just didn't come together.  We "concluded" the loss of inherent oils via the drying process was the culprit.

cod liver oil and prenatal vitamins in an oil suspension.  I've heard that the amino acids are oil  soluble and should stand up well to being mixed in .  while i doubt they will swim across the lake to get them,  i do think the proteins and amino acids will encourage the fish to hold on  longer before the hook set...

I read somewhere that the Yum F2 was mostly comprised of dehydrated Krill.  Just something to keep in mind, so it may be a good thing if you get the crawdads dehydrated.

Dehydrated Krill is available in some grocery stores.  It is also major part of many aquarium fish foods as well.  I have not given it a try; but I probably will, maybe pretty soon.  Bream season is just starting here.

Guys, I have had several requests for krill based scents and squid, which I guess Keitech baits uses. Right now, I am working on a squid n shad scent and a krill n shad. If your interested in them, let me know. I don't think they'll be incorporated into the site until May or June. Product however, should be available in a few weeks...just let me know.

Oopps, bareknuckles I forgot to reply to your Q?
The price should be similar to my current pricing. $8.99 for 4 oz. bottles.
