I add the sack oil for its preverving and waterproofing and don't find it odor a negative to any degree. My jar of lure is many years old and I just add new castor and sack oil when needed. I don't catch truck fulls of beaver but I have wondered how much local castor works over non local castor to any degree. Might it have regional appeal or superiority? Hmm, sac oil really isnt a preservative..it can get pretty bad, Castor on the other hand is its own preservative. If you really want to find a super castor from a beaver you caught...save the castors out of beaver thats holey-er than swiss cheese. Any beaver than smells that castor will want to come over to kick its butt. As for regional thing...paul only uses southern castor for Backbreaker as it has a different smell than our northern castor. http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php
