Have any of you tried injecting scents into soft plastic baits using a turkey baster? Thought it might last better than just smearing it on the outside. Any thoughts, ya'll?

Wouldn’t the bait need to be hollow ?

hey short order
I dunno bout the turkey baster
but if you bought a can of wd40 you would save money and have just as good an attractant as any attractant you could buy at your sporting goods store--and much cheaper
I use it
and in case you are wondering
wd40 is basically fish oil
lol
try it you will thank me
works well for me

On the Hudson River, WD40 is the Go To attractant when you fish on the Piermont pier. Spray some on your sand worm, cast out and hold on for that big spawning Striped Bass.

Most plastic baits are quite porous. The Berkley General baits and many others are infused with salt or attractants but it dissipates with use or if left on the hook between uses. Just want to soup it up to use it longer.

Thanks. May have to buy a smaller size as my garage size is too big for my tackle bag. The garlic sprays use up quickly and everything and everyone on the boat smells Italian. I suspect it catches mostly Italian fish.

Thanks for the tip. Some of our lakes here in central Texas also have some stripers and hybrids in addition to black and spotted bass.

Take a look at the Pro-Cure line of fish scents. They've got flavors from garlic to shrimp and crab and bloody tuna. BassPro has them or you can go to their wedsite. They have a cap mounted with a syringe needle that fits on their plastic bottles. I pierce my soft artificial baits through both ends and inject about an inch to an inch and a half line of the liquid into the bait. Don't buy the gel as it is almost impossible to squeeze the gel into the soft lure. This has made a big difference in bites and one injection lasts about 20 casts. Here in Hawaii, those trolling for big game also spray WD40 on their lures. They claim it works. You can buy almost 2 cans of WD40 from Costco for the price of one bottle of fish scent. I like how the scents have helped improve my catches.

You'd have to have a huge plastic bait to use the turkey baster! Lol.

When I fish for catfish, I get the smelliest rotten onion, can sardines and a can of fish food for catfish. I put it in a old steel crappie basket. Punch holes in the cat food can and sardi can or use the old beer can opener. Put something in it to take it to the bottom and a rope to pull it back in the boat or land. Dog food and cheese works. You can by a bag of frozen spinners or chad at the bait shop and put that in a crappie basket. Works for me

Catfish recipe: 1/2 portion cotton seed meal, 1/2 portion flour, mix adding water until stiff, add favorite scent - any of these: cheese, chicken blood, liver, vanilla, wd40, etc. etc.. nastier the better. Some use blood after sitting it in sun a few days, gags a maggot. Press it onto a treble hook and lasts for several casts. Let the catfish run with it before setting the hook! Good luck!
