Essential oil leakage in cold water

Jon Whelan

Senior Member
Evening all,

Now it is getting cooler & the general trend to omit bulk oils/emulsify oils, have any of you played around/replaced with neat essential oils through the winter instead?

I appreciate that bulk oils solidify in cooler waters, but was wondering whether this is the case with essential oils too?

Cheers, Jon
 
Generally the same applies, tho' with some of the more volatile EOs you can get away without emulsifiers.
 
Thanks again Darryl for your input. I have spent a few hours searching on this & as you have highlighted, it's down to the base used.

Cheers, Jon
 
I keep all my bait ingredients in a cold fridge - a quick look identifies those useful for winter use!
