Jester 20 to 30 drop's per cup of plastic. I have cooked it in or have added after plastic has cooked and also put some in the bag's too help sliding the baits in straight. I wanted too know if the reaction was the same or better with another upper hand scent. I've used hawg & anise on all my bait's big and small have caught walleye, bass large and small mouth, crappie, gills, white bass and northern pike on it. I also have a trick I picked on a You Tube video It was on rigging soft plastic's that micro spoon posted a link for. If you have a bait that is not perfectly straight when it comes out of the mold if you put it in a bag and put the bag in the microwave on half power for 10/15 seconds it some times will make it straight. 8)mike
