Javelin, you'll hear all kinds of opinions about scents. All you can do is try a few and judge for yourself how well they work. Personally, I didn't notice any increase in catch rates with Megastrike or Smelly Jelly but I feel Kickn' Bass did help. I haven't tried the others so can't comment on them. To me, it doesn't make a difference which Kickn Bass scent I use on a particular bait. I use anise-shad or garlic on jigs and craws and it works fine, so I don't think you need to match the scent to the prey species your bait represents. Bass are primarily sight feeders. First, it looks like prey so they engulf it. If the taste is acceptable, they keep it. If it's not, they can spit it out faster than any human can set a hook. So I believe the main function of a scent (including the salt in most soft plastics) is to extend the time you have between a bass picking up your bait and spitting it back out. It doesn't necessarily help all the time but it can mean a few extra fish in the boat.
