I think a very few simple "cake mix" lure formulas - YES, to some extent.... but the vast majority - NO.

To answer that question would be a guess at best. If one was given the exact same glands and ingredients and each was told to formulate from those notes I think an experienced lure maker could do a good job.

It might take some modifications or adjustments along the way on the next batch or so on aging or the suggested time of adding a specific ingredient but I believe it could be done to a good likeness and animal response.

When one formulator talks to another he knows what to say and the other knows what to ask typically I would think. This would make the entire process more easily emulated.

Just think of it this way for some of you..its not your typical industry that a brand-name company is willing to give up its market share and open up holes for upstarts to claim.

Get out there and experiment.
