looks like sudden valley supply has some. Do not have the slightest idea on quality though.

Thanks for the heads up about Sudden Valley. Price is about the norm for the oil, just wish they had a picture of it. The good stuff looks like tar and be just about as sticky. I like it as a change up especially when the rain starts to pour about mid season. $100 gallon

Anthony and KYtrapper, wasn't there a guy at the KY trappers meet I attended few years back that was selling spoonbill oil? Matt Jones told me to "get you sum" but I didn't. Matt swore by it. Yessir you were there in Mayfield, Ky. Apparently where we all got it!

You got the same batch I did. I don’t think he’s making it anymore. He had some good stuff. Did you catch with it? Yessir I did. I used it for a base in a lure. I don't recall using it straight though. I bought a gallon I think. I probably have about a quart left.

Yep, Cumberland sold a truck load of spoony oil that day. I use it for lure formulation too, just worried I won't be able to get any when I need it. Unless you are by one of the river fish markets raw material for it is not easy to come by either. I had a fella give me 3 last year. I "sealed" them up in a 55 gallon drum. Never dreamed the maggots would make it in there. Amazing little creatures that ruined my happy party!!!

Sounds like it should be worth more than the $90/gal that Carlis is asking. One or two catches would make it paid for and there'd be enough left to last a few years. How many gallons of bait or lure will a gallon of fish oil make? Does anybody recall, was it Carlis or Cletis that had a pic on here a few years ago of the top oil that they had rendered? I believe the stuff we bought was actually the sludge maybe? Anthony, do you know?

I know there was the really dark stuff and some lighter colored stuff that seemed to have more particles floating in it. Matt said the dark stuff was the stuff you wanted. All I know is it works. black gold

Thanks tjm ive tried that several times! I end up with oily fish juice! I've asked several top lure and bait makers they all tell me pure fish oil will not freeze! So I freezer test every draw and its all froze! I havent tried a quanity of spoonbill yet! my next successful snagging trip I entend to save everything but the guts! I've done extensive research on the process and what to watch for. Spoonbill has two different oils from all ive gathered The black oil then theres a clearer yellowish oil

Anyone got any idea on if it's made different than with carp or catfish I catch a few ever year Process is the same, but the end product is different as far as odor goes.
