Default Added scents

What do you guys think about putting the scent on your lures, I'm talking about the ones that come in bottles that all have different smells. Just curious if you think they are worth the time spent putting them on your lures, or if they are just another piece of clutter in the tacklebox.

I feel like I'm fishing naked if I don't have some Smelly Jelly or Lunker Sauce on my jigs.

I definitely reccomend some scent.

I don't use scent at all. Although it may help, I just can't handle another spill or leak in the tackle bag, car, or boat.

I really like lunker sauce and smelly jelly. Those would be my fav's. I have used many others, but the jells or sauce is cleaner and I belive more effective.

I was reading something from the articles section of this website about the attractant KicknBass. Anyone here ever give it a try? I think the website is http://www.kicknbass.com

WIU i would say my favorite scents are smelly jelly, crawfish,bass feast, and the threadfin shad lunker sauce.....lunker sauce makes another one that i use ONLY when i have to and that's a crawfish scent...it looks like snot when it comes out of the tube and you have to put it on the lure.....i hate to use that one....but i am not beyond it if i have to......

Kick-n-bass is my main scent, along with Yum and Carolina Lunker sauce. A soft plastic or jig doesn't get thrown without a scent. Does it work? I have more confidence when I use one, and confidence is the name of the game.

I bought some of the Hawg Sauce and it sure smells like garlic. Haven't had a chance to try it yet but am looking forward to it. I am mainly interested in soft plastics because on a crank they either eat it or they don't.

WD-40. Used it once, and it was the best I've used.

And I asked a DNR about it as well if it would harm the water, and they said it shouldn't be an issue. That and I believe Renegade worms a few years back were sprayed with a "fregrance" that was nothing more than WD-40.

Yum and Berkley have scent added in. No need to add any. Other companies add scent to the baits in the packaging. Kickn Bass in garlic, craw, or shad is added to KidLizard Baits. Jack's Juice is a popular brand around here. The only brand plastic I throw that doesn't come juiced is Zoom. And then I grab whatever my partner is using.
I checked out the Hawg Sauce at the show this past weekend. Be careful that you don't confuse the bottle of Sauce with the suntan lotion or better yet, hair conditioner.

I went to Pizza Hut last night and at the table next to me was a group of four bass sitting there. Biggens too! And I'll be damned if they were not stuffin there big o'le mouths full of garlic bread. That stuff must work, but not sure how bass came to have such a liking of garlic?????

Back in the 80's DNR scientists who had nothing better to do decided to test a variety of scents and flavors on bass. I guess garlic worked. So did some other scents....like banana!

Ill second, third, whatever the CB's Hawg Sauce. I sell his scents on my site, and you can obviously buy directly from him too...
I have no doubt it works. I use it religously when I fish jigs.

Thanks for the input fellas, I went ahead and ordered some of the KicknBass so I'll see how that does and go from there... I think I might also order some of the CB's Hawg Sauce... we'll see.
