How many of you make some of the more loose/liquid lures squirtable?

I have a mixture that I use with good success that is 1 oz gland lure and 3-4 oz of quality urine. I was thinking maybe taking some of the more runny lures I have and just straining them through a fine mesh/screen and funneling them into a squirt bottle as well. Maybe add a bit of urine to it as well to keep it from gelling up as much? Extended periods of cold/freezing is not a real concern for us down this way during trapping season.

Thanks for any input.

Only squirtable "lures" I use are urine and BTO. The BTO is a thick liquid in warmer temps but in colder temps (I've used it done to -20 or a bit below) it is more of a squeezeable gel than truly squirtable. About the consistency of honey at 60 degrees. You're not squirting it from the seat of your snowmachine or out a truck window, but you squeeze it out on the side of a stump or tree and it will flow down the side slowly.

Squirtable baits yes but squirtable lures would seem to have an issue with volume of the application.

I love squirtable lures. Eliminates the need for a lure holder that can get hooked out of the hole. Most of the time on remakes I just wallow out the old hole and the lure odors stay at the bottom of the hole.

You can mix some lures with urine and strain if needed.

I make a urine based lure with added chemicals that is really killer on canines especially fox. I use it in a 4 oz squirt bottle and use about 10 drops per set.

LOL, when you mention using “drops” of lure, brings up memories of the 70’s when I found what I thought at the time was the best fox lure out there. It was sold by Cronk and supposedly an Arnold’s recipe. I believe it was Arnold’s Fox #1 and I used it in my Disco dirtholes by the drop, 7 drops to be exact and no bait! At the time my competition were all using a Lenon’s fox lure and Hawbakers 500 and I never took a backseat to their catch numbers. I know this because me and my competitions sold our fox in sort of a co-op for some years so all 5-6 of us knew each others numbers.

One of the lures I have is one of yours TS.

May just tinker around with it and see what comes of it.
