Using scents?

[SHAWN HAYES]

Just wondering if anyone uses any of the scents on the market and how they have worked.

Some people use them here on Lake Champlain and I didnt know if it would be worth bringing or trying when I come out to Lake O in a few weeks. Some of the products I have tried are:

Smelly Jelly which I found if not totally wiped off your lure afterwords will ruin the finish.

MegaBite made by mustad

Smeltrite made here in Vt

I use Pro-Cure gel in the spring for browns and it works great. Tried using smelly jelly and Pro-Cure for salmon but haven't noticed any increase in catch like I did for the browns. Not a very scientific test but just what I've noticed.

Man that is the $64,000.00 question. I live out here on the west coast where both of the products you listed are made. You will find out here 50% swear by it and 50% don't believe it works. My theory is there is a lot of items on the market that sure do catch

fisherman and that you can take to the bank.

these 3 catch fish, but what order could not tell you when the hook is in there mouth.

I don't know about you guys, but I am fishing for fish that find their way home by their sense of smell!!! I use it and think it helps.

try using pure anise extract on your hands, lure, and line. Oh yeah, don't smoke or eat without washing your hands. You can use anise scented cleansers.
