Ryno Plastics Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hey Fellas, I've been reading article after article lately about the importance of scent in soft plastics. I guess that's what got me to thinkin'...which scents are the most effective, most attractive, most potent...etc? Figured I'd try to get an opinion from just about everyone.

earthworm77 Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I think garlic is the stinkiest and I use it to scent my baits 99% of the time. I like the old Bang formula......it doesn't cook out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I tried putting a dot in every one, but it wouldn't let me.....I like 'em all Guess if I had to choose just one it would be Pro Cure's garlic, which is a garlic/craw mix. Anise is great too. Wait a minute.......shad is good for flukes and swimbaits......crawfish is always effective......Dang......good question Ryno!!!

kidlizard Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I like KNB craw on anything I am fishing to resemble a craw. I use garlic on stuff like worms, and shad on shad type of baits. I guess I go for the most natural scent for the bait I am useung, and since I havent heard of worm scent ill stick with garlic for worms. My favorite is still craw. Anybody got any worm scent????? john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 The garlic is a great cover scent, But for attracting fish we dont use garlic as bait. anise does have a "food" value in it, but I still believe that a baitfish "shad" or actual fish food "craw" is the best to get the fish to bite. But from a marketing standpoint I have to say that garlic is the most requested scent. But I say I make them all. You pick what you want and I will have it ready.

Tubeman Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 Hears one for ya, I'm trying Mega Strike paste today and it melts in very well. As for its smell, its unique and I could not tell you if it resembles any of the current scents being commercially sold. We have our last tourny tommorrow and I'm crossing my fingers on this one.
