Could someone please explain in which circumstances you'd choose Propylene Glycol over Glycerin in bait/lure making and vise-versa? (Assuming they are both the same price of course.)
Do they have added benefits aside from anti-freezing properties? Are there differences in the benefits between the two mentioned?
Thank you in advance.

That is basically what I thought Asa but wanted to verify it before passing on bad info. Thank you again for your time.

I used glycerine in about a one to five ratio to muskrat blood in a plastic squeeze bottle. I use it to freshen up my bait in weasel boxes in cold weather. Works great and the consistancy is just about right at that ratio.(along with Asa's weasel lure of course)

I really enjoy these lure/bait threads. Very good answers. What would I mix, with Castor and other ingredients to give it a "waterproof" base, as I've heard. Will Glycerin do the trick? Will a fresh castor made lure work, or would it be better to let it age, if so how long? Thanks. WTA I'm sure there will be better answers from more authoritive sources....but I have done well with Vaseline for a waterproof castor base, and Glycol for a regular base. My castor is usually only three or so days old when I make beaver lure.

Oh Bob, how you do go on....(LOL) All kidding aside...very nicely done and very informative. This is why people buy lure from you....you know your stuff! when it comes to lures. Thanks for sharing!

Bob wrote "If it is very rigid and difficult to remove for application you have added too much vaseline or lanolin and it needs to be cut with another product to reduce the viscosity."
Could you elaborate on what "other products" you could use and any amounts/lanolin or vaseline? or is that a "trade secret"?
Thanks for the info you've given thus far.

Personally I like glycerin for making my beaver lure. In fact I use it in all my lures to some extent.
