scents and their application

[lazy-ike]

howzat guys. just bought my first bottle of yum scent, garlic in the spray botlle. now i would like to know how to apply it. duh i know it's in a spray bottle so why not just spray. but that seems like a terible waist. can i just spray it into my siplock bag that holds my plastics? and how long can i fish the scented lure before i have to re-apply?
thanks

yo ike, you reckon that shite works dude.
Alot say it does. but i have never put that on my lure.

[lazy-ike]

dunno bru, gonna try it tomorrow

[tolla]

at least it takes the smell of you off the lure, your sweat on hands, ziplock bag works a treat
i would say the garlic 1 works the best to take smells off lure
most baits come sented now a days

I reckon that stuff may only help make the bass hold onto the worm for a bit longer, but has nothing to do with encouraging the initial strike. I've read that bass don't have very good senses of taste and smell, but rely more on sight and lateral line detection. Never used it myself though.

hey smeegle, why dont you take a ride bru.That is soo unfair.

That bass is HUUUUGE, you Had to put it on the site hey. just to make the other ou's go *Look at the size of that F&%^ing thing*

I have yet to catch something that size!
Stats my friends, When, where, how big, and on WHAT exactly did you get him on.....
Come on. out with it buddy.....

Most lures have the scent impregnated these days. It helps with the bass holding on a bit longer, or that's what they say. The spay on scents are more to attract bass to the area than hit your lure. If you use a scent and don't get anything at the particular spot then come back after a while and the bass may have moved into the area to see what they smell. It's like it says on the bottle, fish attractant!

Howzit guys....

Well I fished a couple of weeks ago and my buddy wasn't using anything and I was... I got more hits and they definitely hung on to the bait for longer.... The one bite I bad rattled my rod about 5 times before I set the hook... My buddy couldn't believe how they were banging mine compared to him,so he tried some and sure enough first cast he had a strike... Had fish-on and then snapped his line... Coincidence, maybe, but for me it is a must when I fish!!!!

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

well there we go fab, reading is believing, stick to what you know works!

[lazy-ike]

[tolla]

another can of worms, whatever you feel is right, i re-aply every 10 casts

I have 5 different ones that I use. Garlic, crawdad, gilliminkie etc etc. Generally I dont use them unless fishing is tough. Sometimes I catch with it sometimes I dont, so I cant say if it works or not, but heck If fishing is tough and nothing is biting what have you got to loose?
