TroutCowboy wrote:sounds like a great idea to me!! you might have to mix it with some inert gel or something to make it thicker or stickier, though. or is it pretty thick right out of the capsule?

btw, if you take the fish oil pills yourself the secret is to keep them in the freezer. that way they stay frozen long enough to get further thru your digestive tract before the outer coating dissolves. cuts down on the yucky fish burps!
Stuff's pretty thick right out the capsule TC,..I applied some to one of my Swimbaits and it seems 2 hold on quite nice,..I even let it sit in a bucket of water for a few minutes,..pulled it out and it was still smelly and sticky,..so I think it just may work,..we'll see on the water,..if I get hits on baits I normally don't then I'd say it's a winner!

Poke some holes in the gelcap, stuff it in the end of a tube bait, put a peice of an earplug in the back to hold it in and C-rig it baby! Better yet, squeeze it on a cottonball, then stuff the cottonball into the tube...easy and slow release. Try it, you might like it.

I wonder if the stuff is water soluable or if it is actually an oil and won't mix with water. If it won't mix with water then the scent won't linger near the bait and attract fish.

If they don't work on the fish, take em as directed, it's good for your cardiac system. :chef:

My first thought is how well it will stay on your bait. My next suggestion is open them all into a pot and mix in some vaseline and lightly heat so it mixes with the vaseline, this will allow the scent to adhere to your jig or lure. You could even mix in a few choice ingredients into the pot like say, garlic. Good luck, it will be a fun experiment.

And if it doesn't catch fish, you can always use it as a spread for bagels.

I am going with loses the extra finger he grew from the flesh eating oil he has been working on in his laboratory.
'course they don't have biscuits and gravy ... but if they did, I bet everyone would eat there.
