are you having us on with the pernod. i've done it with strawberry and that worked..

Not at all. Pernod stinks of aniseed right and some Irish fellers (not tree fellers...that's another joke) use Whiskey on Kippers for pike bait, because it helps to disperse the smell. Alcohol disperses oil too, so by using Pernod, you could have the best of both worlds. You'd have the aniseed odour and you'd also have a component for dispersing oils from your bait.

I'd try it and I'm not kidding.
