So if I use glycol and water together to make a gallon Should I do 50/50 of each or less glycol. Or use glycerin and diluted it. For my gallon volume then add my ingredients. Want it to be strong enough so when I add to my bait Itvwill still be strong enough still so meat doesn't take Away from strength. Any suggestions I appreciate it...

Some additives have low freezing points and even with temperatures getting down into the low 20 or teens regularly here I dont have a problem with baits or lures freezing. Just my experience.

And some of them provide a pretty good attraction by themselves. Personally I like everything I add to a formulation to add to the attraction if I can.
