DaveD Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) Finally decided to buy some TUNA OIL, I've never used the stuff but thought hopefully a fish will want a taste of a plastic or hardbody now if it had a sweet taste for em. Picked it up for about $6 for 500ml so I'm gonna see how it goes...how has it been for others? Simply soaking or dipping bait/lures into it.

Davy Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 personally i wouldnt suggest dipping lures into them, the oil stays on forever and not very pleasant in your tacklebox thereafter. i only liketo use a tiny bit mixed in with my berley or 'marinate' bait overnight with it.

gio Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 i wouldnt do this for the reasons mentioned above, as has already been said put a little bit in your burley the stuff goes a long way. If you want to put something on your lures try some ultrabite spray, or egimax, but even these will leave your lures smelling a bit funky in your tackle box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dicko1 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yeah mate i agree, definately would not recommend using tuna oil on lures.... stick to the ultrabite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveD Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 So all in all, they should be able to just enjoy the lure so long as theyre attracted to the tuna oil in the water with the burley. No worries then, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IFishSick. Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I have started to use Prawn Oil on my Squid jigs. Seems to possibly get more squid.....but they do hit the lure more aggressively. I saw Prawn scent on a Prawn imitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
