David_C 768 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Another useful attractant is cod liver oil. Smells shocking but I sometimes use it when targetting gar and have done well.David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rocknev 2 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 im also testing out some prawn oil on the squid jig.... tried it yeterday, and a squid zoomed in, but then backed away.... i had another jig without the scent next to it, but it chose the scented..... then a dolphin came which some local kids fed from the jetty, so that was the end of the experiment as nothing came around then....

Ranger 48 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Aniseed oil has been used for years! I even remember it back when I was a kid and the chemist was the only place ya could buy the stuff!For me though, if I'm making burley, I prefer to use more natural stuff like fish oil, tuna oil, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

szkolka 0 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 this aniseed oil seems like it will work, does any one think it will work with bream. ive found them extremely hard to catch some times and nothing will get them on the bite. also, for rays and sharks, would this stuff work, has any one tried it or had them come up their burley trails when targeting other fish?

grouchy 2 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 commercial berley pellets have aniseed in them, u can smell it. Also there is a similar chemical in curry powder, which is another secret item, mind you curry powder is mentioned in any old fishing booked from the 70's onward.

ramo 1 Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 has any one tried anniseed essents. the stuff that you can make your own oozo out of Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compleat Angler 72 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 There is 100% Aniseed Oil. When you buy this it stored in glass bottles as it will eat thru plastic. Word of warning - keep it away from your Soft Plastics and Hard Body lures as it will eat into them.Aniseed essence is available and is sold in plastic bottles as it is no where near as strong and can be stored and used with plastic. Most people are happy to use the Aniseed Essence but we do have 100% Aniseed Oil available on request.Compleat Angler Wallaroo 88232840Moonta 88253400 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

afishyfish 4 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Good try Mt Hoangduc Jack, this may help Star anise comes by its name honestly, with its star shape and a licorice taste similar to regular anise, only stronger. Star anise is the seed pod of an evergreen tree (Illicium Verum) grown in southwestern China and Japan. It is about one inch high with eight segments and a dark brown rust color. Like regular anise, star anise gets its distinctive licorice taste from a chemical compound called anethol. However the two are not related botanically - star anise is a member of the Magnolia family.anisePimpinella anisum, Apiaceae An aromatic plant originally from the countries of the eastern Mediterranean and Egypt. Several plants have an aniselike flavor, to various degrees, such as fennel, dill, caraway and cumin. True anise comes from a species called anise or "aniseed."
Star anise has a stronger and more peppery flavor than ordinary anise. A whole dish can be flavored using just a few seeds. It keeps its flavor for a longer period than ordinary anise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kelvin 2,200 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Star Anise is great with pork. Not sure how the fish like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
