It depends on what consistency your talking about. If you are wanting a paste I would recommend lanolin. If you looking for something to make it just a little thicker the glycerin would work.
Using lanolin would make it like a smear type lure which would work great in wet conditions.

I use a 50/50 mix of Lanolin & Mineral oil....Adding the mineral oil, keeps the lanolin soft enough to smear when the weather turns cold.

All purpose flour or corn meal also works in soaking up & thickening the unwanted liquids without changing the aroma much...You can smell some difference though.
