Re: Ran out of tuna need more to scent with

raw is what you want...

that said,ive used brine out a can of tuna to scent and it works fine

also pulling the contents out a dead chicks yolk sack with a long needle and syringe works well for scenting


cheers shaun

You can also buy a bottle of fish oil at your local grocery store, it will last you a long time.

great suggestion mate,i'd never thought you could buy a bottle of fish oil...

the only thing i'd check ,is that it's pure fish oil,with no type of additives,salt,seasoning,etc


cheers shaun
