How many of you add scent of some sort to crappie, bass baits or even trolled wet flies. Does it work better than unscented? Just curious for when the bite is light or very slow.

If you are able to find a water soluable scent , consider using it. I would stay away from oil based scents / sprays because they just float off the lure and go to the surface, away from your lure. The soluable scent spreads out and stays below the surface longer, closer to your bait. And if possible , use a scent material that is infused with salt. If a fish bites a lure and tastes salt , it believes it is tasting a bloody fish oil like from a real bait fish....My 2cents.

I've used garlic scent at least once for bass where it seemed to be the tipping point. Meaning it seemed like that was the "thing" at that particular moment, at that lake, that seemed to turn on the bite. Other times, no change that I could determine. I have used it at least a dozen times when it clearly was not "magic." I don't think it hurts and I've never subscribed to the notion that it masks my scent because I don't think most fish have ever smelled me. If they could smell me on the bait, I have no way of knowing if I smell like something they would or wouldn't want to eat. In the converse, if I get the flu shot and I don't get the flu, was if because of the shot or was I just not going to get it regardless. So the short answer is, "I don't know. I wonder too...."

John you have a point there. Can you imagine how many smells are in the water. One of the best places fish docks. Docks where people are in the water often. When i use a fresh plastic i don't add anything. Later i will n at times in a cast or 2 i get bit. One thing i believe is it sure doesn't hurt

I even been with four separate pros this week officiating in the MLF BPT, two of the three used scent on a regular basis. Garlic spray and smelly jelly. Neither of these products were their sponsors; they used them because they felt it gave them an advantage. From the results i observed, it works. I have used garlic spray for years.

I've actually used sardines in oil in a can. Put them in my Ninja blender chopped everything up good put them in a bowl with screw-on lid don't know if it really had any effect but I have caught fish like that so like I said don't know if it helped but obviously it didn't hurt anything.
