I was just interested what guys do and use Sometimes you get the best response when you go against the grain. By all means if you want to wait three years to even start formulating your bait have at it. Good luck! let us know in a few years how that turns out for you.

some meats wont handle 3 years they will turn to water but if you want a watery base that's a plus I guess! Thats a pretty broad remark way to many variables if it was aged in a freezer I could age it two life times lol im not trying to be a smart alac either. Just to many unseens to make any kind of sensible comment

I'm just a beginner in this game but I bet there are hundreds of different bases that have been used depending on what species and what type of lure (gland, curiosity,or food) your going for. You might get a better response if you specified what species and what type lure you thinking about. As far as lanolin I've used it in small quantities in a formulation to change the texture of it but as a base unless it was for warm weather use I would worry it would be too thick and lock in too much odor during cold weather. But like I said I'm just a beginner. Im personally working with cattle afterbirth , ground packrat, coyote glands and empty skunk pods as my bases.

After grinding and adding a preservative is where I get lost in the process. But I’m going to figure it out It's as simple as this...after grinding and tainting to the desired stage, dump in some Dobbin's Bait Solution along with a little extra SB. Stir, and let gas off for another week or two. Put into glass jars for your personal use...and wala...you are done.

That’s to easy lol plus that defeats the purpose of trying to come up with my own sauce that attracts them all. Lol Thats the part that takes time and lots of research. its doable but not simple
