In another post I mentioned I like to put scent on my lures/plastics. What kind(s) do you use and under what scenerio?

Me: I like Kick'n'Bass in Garlic, Anise Shad and Crawfish. Also, I like Riverside/yum in crawfish.

The Garlic is pretty much for the tough bite. I will apply it OVER whatever is already on it if it's not working, so to speak.

Anise Shad goes on basiclly all shad type lures/plastics. Some topwater baits (I use it less on topwater bait than anything)

Crawfish goes on bassjigs, Craw imitators as a whole, and a few select plastics(worms).

Is your usage pretty much the same, other than brands?

What ever is on the bait when I take them out of the box/bag is what I use. I fished with a guy that would put all kinds of scents and juices on his lures, and I would catch just as many fish as he would. I've heard of people using every thing from shaving cream to tobaco juice to garlic to uncle Bens rice pudding, and they swear that it catches fish. I don't know.

It for sure makes a difference at times... not all the time, but at times. Sometimes it is the ticket. I've found at night that it has helped me on many occasions.

I pretty much stick with the garlic though on everything.

Crankbait usually does not use sents, but I just got some from Cross bow, and it smell bad very strong, I think there are times you need scent. I make my own tough bait for catfish and it tased great for human consumpsion, now cross bow scent I was going to ask him if it can be eaten by humans, but the label on the bottle and smell answered that question quickly.

George I can not wait to spring to get to use cross bow scent.

Brown Soap, Home Remedy

It did not add scent as much as remove it, our scent. Always had bars of it in my buggy and boat. Seems to help, if you believe strong enough that it helps, it helps...does for me.

Crankbait, I added the Capt, less confusion (for me anyway DUH!)

I usually dont use alot of scent except presented lures. Like Joe's, berkley, chompers etc. I have a can of spike it garlic I've had for about 5 years now.

I use Megastrike on almost all my baits; more for its slipperiness than its 'attractant'.? The bigger the bait(especially swimbaits), the more it needs to be slippery for a good hookset.? When a big Bass clamps down on a soft-plastic swimbait, it has to slide within the Bass's mouth for a more sure hokset.? MS's greasy gel makes all baits slippery and the only types I don't use it on are spinner and buzzbaits.

After applying the MS to my Matt's Baby Bass, I also dip the bait into CB's Hawg Sauce too.? That 'combo' got me my PB, this 9 lber and several others too. I dip my jigs in it too.

I use 3 different scents, Not at all really for smelling but for tasting, so I guess you could say I use flavors not scents, because I don't think the smell is really as necessary as the taste that the scent gives

.

That doesn't makes scents but then does make sense

Yea what Joe said too...

I generally stick with garlic and crawfish scent, unless I'm going out for the evening

I only use scents on plastics and jig. I store my jigs covered in Megastrike so they marinate and spray all my plastics with Hawg Sauce.
