Do Fishing scents work?

[FishinMommy]

Have you guys noticed increase in catch, size of bass?
What do you use?

[OKie]

Powerbait bass attractents work great. They catch more fish not bigger fish. They also make the fish hold on longer. That gives you more time to set the hook.

not really...only time i use it is when the bite gets tough. or when i get sunscreen or something like that one it......but another thing i do if i dont wanna fool with scent......if there is sunscreen or something like that on it.......drive your boat to the shore.....or walk if shore fishin....and take the worm or whatever and mix it around with sand in about 5-6'' of water.....just get it really sanddy then wash it off. it works with gwettin that scent off 8)

agreed about the power bait, more fish, not necessarily bigger

i use megastrike or kick n' bass

[FishinMommy]

I have used Kickin Bass before and it is really strong. Which holds better kickin Bass or Mega Strike Attractant.
I have heard that Lunker Sauce holds well also

The scent doesn't make the fish bite the lure and it definitely has nothing to do with the size of the bass. However when fishing plastics, the bass will hold onto the bait longer if you use a scent. Its more to mask human odor than anything else. I like to let the fish take a soft plastic for a few seconds before I set the hook, so I always keep my soft plastics dripping wet in garlic scent, or craw.
