Garlic AHHH the smell of garlic- Fish attractants with garlic -It will catch every Italian fish in the lake. If you don't bite this stuff I'll smash your head and give ya the cement overcoat treatment
Ok my take on the garlic small attractants/ People think that its the smell of garlic that attracts the fish -I don't believe that -I believe that the airborne and waterborne molecules are two totally different compositions and detected differently by the fish..
The garlic OK REMEMBER THIS -real garlic and artificial are two different -substances- Real garlic is a bulb/root ---it is loaded with amino acids that fish will gravitate to and yes taste and consume-Garlic powder is usually synthetic=made in a lab=fragrance or essence .
The smell however is from the Allicin- It is a allyl-methyl sulphide nothing to really do with the chemoreception/taste-
What I believe the fish are tasting are the amino acids -They are water soluble-The Allicin is slightly water soluble-more soluble in alcohol. If the garlic you are using is in an oil form-it is basically going to be undetected by the fish anyway-
So without going into a big chemical speech, I believe that the smell dosent attract the fish--the lure attracts the fish -the fish attacks the bait-the aminos are detected as a flavor-therefore the fish holds on to the bait
I believe if its a synthetic composition with no aminos-its basically worthless. So put away your powdered stuff because most of it isn't worth using -Drop the powder grab the cannoli-
