Has anyone tried substituting the extracts you get from grocery stores for the ingredients in bait recipes? I bought some cherry and anise extract the other day and they are quite pungent. Can they be substituted for cherry and anise oil?

Thanks,
Bill

My understanding is the grocery store extracts arent as pure an concentrated.

the bigger bottles they sell say extract on them are a tincture,but the small little square bottles in the baking section thast say oil are the pure stuff. I've used anise oil,spearmint oil,,cherry extract,bannana extract,etc. etc. to add to a bait type base that I make,I make a couple gal of the base lure then package it in 4oz plastic jars.fun to play with and catch fur on your own stuff. Heck I've got a beaver lure that I made that has never caught a beaver because the coon come running to clog the set, so now its a coon lure.

Mostly alcohol that evaporates very quickly as is.

When the Alcohol evaporates, doesn't what's left get more concentrated?

yes, some grocery store extracts will work for the average dabbler ... quite well actually ... many ingredients purchased through suppliers can be or are cut pretty thin ... that's why it's important to pick and choose where you purchase your oils etc.

also taking the time to learn which oils compliment each other when mixed is very important ... just cause your list of oils/extracts sounds good and smells good individually dont always make it so when mixed ... some odors just dont play off each other

have fun

I picked up a bottle of pure Chinese star anise oil.For about a minute after I smelled it, I could taste it! It hangs around a long time.The small bottles in the baking section contain a lot of alcohol...up to 70%. It works fine...I have used them in the past.You just put a little more at the set.

Thanks guys. Got two gallons of ground carp/catfish all mixed up with the ingredients in the freezer. We'll see how the coon respond in a few weeks.

Anise extract is good for rats, coon and weasel. Peppermint is good for coon and great for rats. I have never tried wintergreen but would imagine it would work on beaver, rats, and coon. Many times I will pick some of the above extracts up at a menonite store in a small town nearby...ingredients seem purer and really give off better odor IMO.
