Not 100% how to post links on here but if you google Fox predator oil syringe plenty of sites have them available.
I have used this set for a while now and find it perfect. Comes with two sized syringes and three sized needles so can deal with most liquids and oils.

Syringe from boots with no needle works perfect with thick or thin liquids. 20 odd pence each

I use one of those medicine syringes you get with kids medicines, works fine and plenty in stock if you have kids.

pop into a vets and ask bud, explain what you're using them for. I got given a big bag of them from 5m to 30ml.

I've no idea why fishing companies supply slip needles and syringes, bloody silly if you ask me, I hated using them in my job.
Search Luer Lock the needles screw on and don't come off, Luer Slip are the ones that....err...slip off
under pressure and decorate your bivvy 😆
You can also get Luer Lock caps so you can pre fill syringes to take with you

No need for the needle imo

Agreed. At least 30 years ago was talking to a mate who was a senior nurse and mentioned I was looking to acquire needles and syringes for fishing. I did not realise how lethal a hypodermic needle could be. He really laid it on with the dangers and safety aspects. You don't need a needle for most angling applications. If you have got them, chuck them.

yep just a syringe no needle, make a little pilot hole with your scissors if you need.

You can get one from Sainsburys for injecting into meat in the kitchen equipment section.
Its for injecting chicken & Turkey with brine before cooking.
The needle has a hole in the side so that it can get really think liquids in easily.

Nowt wrong with needles just got to be careful with them. I worked in Pharmacy Compounding for 12 years, more experience than most will ever have using needles, yes I saw people pierce themselves, it's inevitable when you work with them. Only ever heard of 1 incedent where someone really did stab their finger with 1, can't remember which but damaged something, nerve, tendon etc, took a while to recover. Biggest mistaske you can make is trying to catch a syringe with a needle on if you drop it, takes a lot of skill to not reactively try

Different experiences. It wasn't physical damage from the needles I was concerned with. Septicaemia, embolism and anaphylaxis are just 3 results of accidentally injecting yourself with air or oils or other inappropriate and or non sterile liquids. Completely unnecessary risk in dark bivvies and cold wet hands.

Regardless of the safety aspect of it, I don't think you need to use a needle to fill a bag. Just push the syringe in.

What matters is it's got a nice big bore needle that will handle oils very well,
I tie up 3 bags at a time then inject the oil
So what matters how big it is ?

Hi Went down this route last year and sourced some syringes and blunt tip needles. TBH the syringes were fine but even big bore blunt needles were a PITA..I too suffered an inconvenient blow off and ended up just making a hole in the top of the bag with scissors and injecting direct.

Those in the link I posted wont be a problem I can assure you, nice big thick needle with two holes in, they handle thick liquids with ease, as that's what they are designed for
