I'm looking for some recommendations on efficient ways to bottle paste-style lures. For gallon-sized batches, I've been considering disposable piping bags, which seem like they'd work pretty well. Once I start getting into 5-gallon batches, though, I feel like I'm either going to need a better system or just suck it up and deal with the extra work.

For my thinner lures, stainless steel pancake batter dispensers have worked really well, but this particular lure is too thick for them.

What do you think about this? Need a bigger reservoir though.

Another idea I have heard of is if you had a container with a valve stem on it so you could pressure up the container with an air compressor (shouldn't take much). The lid would have to seal air tight, and have a valve on the bottom to dispense from.

What a mess if things go wrong!!

Any recommendations/link for a decent batter dispenser?

I plan to try it after the season, but had the idea of maybe using empty caulk tubes off Amazon.

This has worked very well for me.

Is it gravity fed? I’d imagine for real thick paste there would need to be downward pressure for it to push out

You can buy fillable caulking tubes. Fill them up and squirt it in bottles

Or just scoop it into 4,8 16 oz wide mouth plastic jars.

Or grind fine, add more propylene and pour

Im cheap. I just take a gallon ziplock bag. Fill it up and then cut a corner out and squeeze it out like a cake decorating thing. Throw the bag out when done. Have all ur bottles setup and ready to go before u make the cut.

We use various sizes of ice cream scoops depending upon the jar size or jug. Walmart carries several sizes. Very little waste, fast product release from the dipping spoon and easy to clean.
