All the time! It may not work but covers up my smell. Go home smelling like I’ve been to an ‘Italian house of ill repute’”😝

As a prior post stated - wd40 has a petroleum base and I sure do not want to be polluting the water. I used it years and years ago but will not any more. They used to say it had fish oil in it and that is why it works. A state chemist told me it does not have fish oil so I quit using it.

As I said, I have never used it so I have never polluted the water. I use real bait. Shrimp squid, liver. Just giving him some info I heard.

Never used any type of scent and I still catch as many fish as my buddy who does. I think its all in what your use too . I use a lot of soft plastic and hard plastic baits. When I fish bottom I use all natural baits . worms , livers, etc.

If you watch Naked and Afraid a young lady peed in the water to attract minnows to eat. I pee in the water and don't catch anything! Must be a female thing.

Sorry Ladies,at times I’m amazed myself. Arrid should be the scent of choice.

Shrimp scent seems to work well for me as an attractant if they are not in the immediate area I am targeting. Once you are in their space scents aren't needed. Just my experience.

You are seeing what we see. My joke was just smelling like garlic. I have a niece that has moved with her air force career but she used to eat the garlic cheese bait we used for cats. She smelled like garlic all week as it came out her pores!! We all laughed at her mother for cussing us about it. Too much fun!

Always! As I call it, fish repellent.
