Super User LgMouthGambler Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 Had a half a bottle of Yum garlic spray, and half a bottle of Spike It dip and dye Chart. Garlic. So......I mixed the 2 together. I can now spray onto a lure, or in a bag, and get a hell of a reaction! Gonna try some baits tomorrow and see how it does. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 Sweet. Mix in a 5 year old throwing rocks in the water and babbling on and you have it made! Lol Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted September 21, 2012 Author Super User Posted September 21, 2012 Ok, dont do this and leave it in the Yum spray bottle. For some reason the chemicals ate through it. Good thing I put the bottle in a Ziploc freezer bag. I took the remains and put it in the thicker Spike It bottle. Haha, oops. 1 Quote

Super User retiredbosn Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 Sweet. Mix in a 5 year old throwing rocks in the water and babbling on and you have it made! Lol I've taken kids fishing with me my whole adult life, wouldn't know how to fish without rocks being thrown. Used to get aggregated until that eight pound bass destroyed my buzz bait. honestly I think there are times the disturbance gets them curious. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 I've mixed some JJs with some other attractant I've got, but didn't put it in a plastic bottle. JJs would eat right through it. And hey, if you can catch bass while kids are throwing rocks, you're a master! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 Well, recommending a mixture without testing it seems silly. Stick with JJ's Magic and separately, MegaStrike. Both are proven winners! Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted September 21, 2012 Super User Posted September 21, 2012 I chalk it up to luck and being rewarded for taking the kids out. Btw rock bottomed rivers are noisy anyway. 1 Quote

Global Moderator Mike L Posted September 22, 2012 Global Moderator Posted September 22, 2012 An old recipe I heard about years ago is anise mixed with baby oil. It last's a long time, doesn't eat through anything and if you believe that atractants are just that, mix a little up and try it. 25% / 75% You'll be surprised Mike Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted September 23, 2012 Super User Posted September 23, 2012 Don't laugh but try soaking your soft plastics in Italian salad dressing, not the creamy one. Also coffee. Quote
Super User Sam Posted September 23, 2012 Super User Posted September 23, 2012 LgMouthGambler, I asked Dr. Keith Jones of Berkley what is the ultimate attractant and he said to grind up some Nightcrawlers and use the paste as your attractant. Have not done so as yet but will give it a shot when I get up the nerve to put the live worms into a blender. I bought a separate blender for the occassion but so far JJ's and MegaStrike are what I use in tournaments and Carolina Lunker Sauce and spray-on attractants for fun fishing. So if you are experimenting how about trying the Nightcrawler attractant and give us a detailed report. Quote

OK, nightcrawler update: couldnt put myself to use a good blender for this, and wasnt going to buy another. Chewing them in your mouth tastes bad as well. lolMy mixture update: so far so good. I am just leaving the mixture in the Spike It bottle, and using a 3ml syringe to pull some out to spray in the bag of bait and then just smooshing it all around. The fish seem to be a little more aggresive, but then again we are having some strange weather down here right now. Gonna have to give a solid months testing. Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 DO not put nightcrawlers in a blender-Stupidiest thing i ever hear-besides me coming back as a sponsor cause glenn dosent like me. Ok back to the nightcrawlers. They will decay and becomerancid--- more of a fish repellant . DO NOT DO IT- bass are preditory fish. Quote

unionman Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I always thought the best attractant was the right lure thrown right at their nose! :-D Quote
unionman Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 But I did get some JJ's recently. Havent noticed any difference in the amount of strikes...We'll see what happens after the turnover. I sure hope its not all just hype. Quote

ANY attractant will not magically draw fish to your lure. These ultimately keep the fish holding onto your lure long enough for you to wake up and set the hook. LOL Quote
bassh8er Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 But I did get some JJ's recently. Havent noticed any difference in the amount of strikes...We'll see what happens after the turnover. I sure hope its not all just hype. I bought 2 bottles and they will be my last. I did as the instructions and warnings stated, and this stuff is still a mess. Maybe it works better if you apply it to the bag directly with a syringe but I could not get this stuff to quit leaking out from underneath the lid, and it made my hands stink. There's no doubt that this stuff is potent but I can't say I got any more bites with it. Quote
Super User retiredbosn Posted September 25, 2012 Super User Posted September 25, 2012 I want to try JJ's, done the mega-strike, its like petroleum jelly, I know you aren't supposed to use any petroleum based products. I even mixed up some garlic and Vaseline once just to see what would happen, not much. I use spike it regularly and believe it helps, I will be ordering some JJ's next week. Quote
unionman Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 I read a post before about tricks with JJ's. Someone recommended keeping your empty bottles and pouring half of the new bottle into the old ones and you wont have the leaking problem. Im gonna try this when I order more. I DO like the dying properties alot even if the scent isnt "magical"... Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 Not petroleum jelly--we just let you think it is- Quote
Brian Needham Posted September 25, 2012 Posted September 25, 2012 JJs absoluly works... nothing hits the water before being dipped in clear JJs. I also like megastrike, though I do not use it often...... I swear last winter I got a bass to the boat that was not even hooked, he just hung on LOL. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 25, 2012 Super User Posted September 25, 2012 I don't see JJ's and Megastrike in the same realm. Yeah, they both stink, but they serve different purposes for different baits. I would not dip a Hardgill in JJ's, but I'll slather it up with Megastrike. I also wouldn't slather Megastrike on my crawfish claws to enhance the color. Megastrike really is an attractant. That JJ's has scent, is a bonus to me. I'd say use them both equally. Going without both in my boat just feels wrong. Quote
