Thanks for the replies. This is good information.

HAHA!!! I re-read this thread and forgot about this reply. So I will assume it's ok for them to be in contact with mineral oil???

I wonder if mineral oil will do the trick??? I suppose it's basically scentless so that along with some anise might do it.

Thanks for the replies folks! Helps a lot. I thought a dry worm was trash.

I have recently acquired my dad's fishing gear/tackle. He did not fish for many years before he passed away. Much of the tackle consists of plastic worms. The worms were my grandparent's. They were very avid fishermen and kept their stuff in very good condition. The worms were in plastic bags and most (90%?) still had the lube on them. Some of the bags, however, were decaying. I transferred them to new zipper bags and recently, into a great Bass Pro Shops tackle bag (thanks @buzzed bait). I want to add more lube/preservant to the worms to keep them in good condition. Now, my question is what in the world do artificial worm manufacturers put in the bags with the worms? I have read that they use oil of anise for attractant but surely that's not all it is...right? Would a small amount of cooking oil of some kind work? I don't want to add anything that would cause them to become gummy. Thanks!!!

I need the small spring that goes on the pawl/pin that winds the line around the spool.

I need parts for my zebco legacy one reel. I can't find a breakdown anywhere. It has 'Date Code G1' on it but no model number. Photos are too large for the forum so here they are on google photos. https://goo.gl/photos/WSrmbGcBYavhGwc7A
