Hello. I am new to this site and wanted to add my 22 cents. [I adjusted for inflation.] Have you ever heard of making your own scents with Vasoline jelly. I have been making it for about 20 years after seeing it in Bassmasters magazine. I can tell you that it is cheap and easy to make but best of all it works. You simply get the small jar of it [it fits in your tackle box or pocket better] and mix in either garlic salt or anise flavoring. You may already have these in your pantry. It may help to mix it if warmed up in the microwave. You can make a jar for less than $5.00 and it will last a long time. It doesn't wash off with repeated casts,it won't freeze and won't spoil in hot weather. I hope you found this helpful and good luck fishing.
