Hi All,
I almost always use scent when Saltwater fishing but I don't have any magic sauce I use when freshwater fishing and I'm wondering how many of you do?
I know a lot of the soft plastics are scent release and impregnated and blah blah blah but who here sprays, dips, gobs or smears to get the edge up?
And if so, what's your special sauce?

I've tried some Gulp stuff in a spray bottle, crayfish scented I think, but I haven't noticed that it ever made a difference. In fact, the last time that I used it, I didn't get a bite.

I use it mostly when im fishing jigs and creature baits and thats most of the time.
if what im throwing looks like a crayfish in anyway.....its getting some stink. And yes its going to be a craw flavor. When worm fishing i usually stick to garlic. I absolutly believe it can only help. |

| Nope. Mostly wacky senkos and spinnerbaits with plain Zoom trailers for me. No scent required. |

98% of the time I use scent now. I never used to but this year it seems I have seen a difference. Most baits come with scent on them already so those I dont scent. But anything that doesnt I normally scent it. 60% of the time it works every time
