Plastic worm “lube”?

[Buckeye Ron]

I recently picked up a huge lot of name brand plastic worms that were not in plastic bags so they are dry and sticky. I’m looking for some type of oil or lube to douse them with. What I’d really like to use is something like Mann’s Jelly Worm scent if such a thing is available to buy. Any ideas or thoughts?

Though it isnt exactly what you're asking, maybe you can create your own lubricant/scent. There's plenty of home recipes for scents, which can also act as lubricants because a lot of them include vegetable or olive oil. You can add garlic salt or whatever you want to add a scent .

Yep, it’s probably pretty easy to use a few drops of veggie oil. I guess I was looking for something off the shelf that doesn’t smell too strong such as you’d find on a Power Worm or similar. In the old days we used Anise oil.

CBD oil...seems to help everything else

This looks promising.

The BANG spray scent made by Gambler is pretty slick.  Sort the baits into like shapes & colors, put them in gallon zip lock bags ( I like the freezer bags because the plastic is a little heavier )  and hose them down with the spray scent.  There are bottled scents that you can get at Walmart that will do the same thing.   In the spray oil section at the grocery store, there used to be garlic scented PAM.   Haven't seen that for a while, but I thought that was a decent worm scent.

If shove comes to push, use olive oil and granulated garlic.

Get some worm oil and add a drop or 2 of anise extract. Don't get cray with the oil, you only need a little bit.

Package them in plastic sandwich bags, 5 per bag. LIGHTLY cover with "The Goo".

You can get the oil that is scented like Mann’s jelly worms through Zeiner’s bass shop.

*If you must , a light vegetable oil plus granulated garlic gently heated up , stired until garlic granuals disolve , cool then apply to soft plastics ... BANG is my favorite spray scent and is now even available at most WM's .

I use Kickn’ Bass scent on a lot of plastics.  It has a fish oil base to which a garlic, anis, or crawfish scent has been added.  I like it for two reasons.  First, the scent is very strong.  Second, it lubricates a Senko good enough that it will slide up onto the line above the hook instead of balling up on the hook and getting torn.
