Share your secret formulas to spray/ferment your bait with while I copy all of them down!

Rebbasser · 03-12-07, 09:23 PM

Most of us use commercially available scents. I use Kick'N Bass, YUM, Carolina Lunker Sauce and Megastrike.

ihateforwards · 03-12-07, 09:24 PM

Ah yay for commercial available scents, I should go to the local Wal-Mart and buy some this weekend

KenDammit · 03-12-07, 09:26 PM

no scents other than what the bait came with, for me.

I use a cheap spray as "lube" for swimbaits, thats it.

ihateforwards · 03-12-07, 09:29 PM

hmm, I'll try my luck with bass fishing just as soon as my state swim meet's over.

crankybait · 03-13-07, 09:20 PM

Err zook, I beleive the company says it is petroelum oil based. on fishinfanatics one of the members called the company just to clear this whole thing up. I could possibly, probably be wrong...

dampeoples · 03-13-07, 09:48 PM

Yeah, and all the people who ***** about it being petroleum based should sell their outboard, and carry the boat to the water, as even the bearing buddies leak a bit

Then go buy some of just about any other brand attractant, and look at the 'rainbow' oil spot they leave on top of the water when being used.

WIUbassin · 03-13-07, 09:54 PM

This Dejavu? I could have sworn we just had this discussion like 2 days ago in the "Added Scent" thread

ihateforwards · 03-13-07, 09:55 PM

I just joined a day ago, sorry!

Dannie Zimmerman · 03-17-07, 02:05 PM

I use to make my own 15-20 years ago, but now I by the commercial stuff.
Here is the formula any way: Put your worms in a quart zip lock bag, add garlic powder, salt and a little mineral oil. Shake it up and you are good to go.

Add food coloring, and you pretty much have the commercial formulas right there

ihateforwards · 03-17-07, 03:26 PM

Hm, but smell really only affects catfish (it doesn't affect bass much right?)(oh and let me just say those Rat-l-Trap lures are really good with catching bass)

ILfishinman · 03-17-07, 03:28 PM

yea it does affect them, there are lots of things that turn them off, such as human smells, just catfish are known for their acute sense of smell. and when i go catfishing, my bait doesn't "stink" i actually think it smells good, but it catches em' up

ihateforwards · 03-17-07, 03:37 PM

Hmmm, would you suggest putting scent onto a lure or spinner bait?

ILfishinman · 03-17-07, 03:41 PM

gel would stay best on those, but i like to think of spinners as reaction baits myself, but you will get all kinds of answers from different people
