For those that like to make their own custom scents: the best base oil I've ever used is a little known product; Spectrum brand Flax Seed Oil (there are other brands that will work). This is a very refined clean oil that is chuck full of Omega-3 fats (as in fish oils). Get it in health food type stores & drink 1 T. a day to ward off heart disease (equivalent to eating salmon 2 or 3 times a week). Put 8 oz. of this in a CLEANED blender and add a rounde 1/2 t. of powdered sodium sulfite (available from some tackle shops- slightly higher ratio than with OTC bait oils because of no preservatives in flax oil). To this base add whatever bait U want- such as sardine filets, live declawed sandshrimp, salmon eggs; or combos- then grind real well into an oil puree. Keep refridgerated in season & frozen off season- it works! - Steve
