MegaStrike Scent

[SimonSays]

That's why I mentioned that we should place a lure inside a large object so scent "leaks" out slowly, this would keep fish from identifying it as food at first (since it's so large, rather than squirting the gel like substance into the tank).  If they come sniffing and try to get the lure out of the object then I would believe that the scent attracts

[Okieracer]

But the fact that he has avoided the issue of how well a bass's sense of smell is is another thing also. A little goes a long way with these. They don't have to be drenched in scent to accomplish their goal. Bottom line is, imo, slow baits are where this product excels. Fast moving reaction baits(cranks, spinners, buzzes, swimbaits) don't need this because the fish should be hooked on the initial bite. So there is no point in putting a product on them that will make the fish strike again because they shouldn't need a second opportunity on those baits if it gets in their mouth.

[SimonSays]

I was going for the Attractant issue....but I agree mostly with what you said.  I don't think cranks or spinners would benefit too much...buzzbaits I feel would benefit from some and so would soft plastic swimbaits where the hooks aren't exposed.

Having the fish hold on longer can never be a bad thing.

I actually took an entire tube the night before a local tournament and put a dab into each bag of plastics that use in local tournaments before going out.  Then rolled the worms around the bag after getting all the air out of the bag.  Worked wonders and didn't have to apply to each new worm.

Personally I love it would strongly recommend it but getting that stuff off your fingers, after applying to a plastic, is pain in the a**.

They should make a Mega Soap for removing Mega Strike.

i still have this in my box, it last for long time but i don't know how long it suppost to last. Does anyone know when your not suppost to use it? because i got mine in 07 and two year later its still in my box.

[Okieracer]

I actually don't mind getting scent on my hands. I'm a smoker and the scent covers up the nicotine, sunscreen, bug spray, and human smells. All of which are a deterrant to bass. So that's just one more use for it. Think about how many times you adjust a worm or hold a jig to pitch it or adjust a trailor. Your putting the bad scents onto your bait everytime you do that stuff. Which means you may get bites, but don't catch those fish because it gets spit out as soon as you notice.

Tennessee smallmouth are attracted by the taste of tobacco

and beer. Never wash it off or cover it up.

[Bobby Uhrig]

I will tell you what i did do one time at one of the shows. I put MegaStrike on a pebble and droped it into the tank. A bass came over and ate the pebble with 20 witnesses there. The guy that had the tank flipped out and said hows he going to crap that out.. Later I watched at the end of the show the guy draining the tank and giving all of the bass away to the guys sweeping the place up- Go figure.

I just got my Mega Strike scent in the mail today. Hopefully I'll get the chance to try it out this weekend.

[TrippyJai]

You guys put it on all the soft plastics including zoom horny toads?

[Bobby Uhrig]

I put it on the ragetail frogs when fishing muck.

I put it on the ragetail frogs when fishing muck.

x2 it helps lube the bait up and makes it slide through the muck alot easier.

[berkleyfan81]

what is the megastrike new scent smell like i have the gary yamamoto an it smells like crawfish what is the new scent ? j/w going to buy some this week .

[MSPbass]

I was fishing with a buddy last year and he offered to share his new tube of Mega Strike. I chose to stick with Smelly Jelly. At some point I changed baits to a Fat Ika and decided to try out the MS. I'm not saying the MS was better than the SJ but, you guessed it, I started getting bit after that. Of course, it had something to do with the bait; but I couldn't help wonder if it had to do with the Mega Strike a little as well. All I do know, is that I kept the MS by me for the rest of the trip and will have some of my own for next season.

My question, to you Bobby, is what's the difference between original MegaStrike and the Yamamoto Mega Srike? Is there a reason you would use one over the other? I've seen the Yamamoto on sale next to the full price original. What's the deal? Thanks

[Big-O]

If there is a topical gel scent better that MegaStrike, I'm not aware of it.

Fishing trash with Soft plastics is much easier with the additional lubrication and MegaStrike is both effective and durable.

There's a tube in my boat, in my tackle bag and in my buddies tackle bag because he stole it from me ;D

Big O it was actually an all natural crystaline-that I added to the Megastrike gel- It took be a long time to research it. Mother nature is amazing.

[Hammer 4]

Megastrike goes on anything plastic, including swimbaits, spinnerbait skirts, and jigs..

[Bobby Uhrig]

Dozer puts a little dab behind his ears before he goes out Friday nights-he dosent get lucky but when he wakes up there are 50 cats outside his windows.

[roadwarrior]

Lots of members are interested in MegaStrike.

Seems like we ought to kick it up a notch...

Bobby, how 'bout a BassResource.com special?

With a little more incentive maybe everyone will

give it a try.

[TrippyJai]

I don't fish enough to tell whether MegaStrike makes a difference, but I usually apply it to my soft plastics. It's a confidence booster for me and I like it. I just can't seem to fish without it, if anything MegaStrike is a good thing.

[Bass_Fanatic]

Im with RW...I want to see something and I might give it a try!!

[Scorpio]

Great idea RW

Guys,

I will have been fishing Bass for fifty years this coming July, and I have met and seen a lot of things that many of you have not. I am no touring pro, but have an open mind and listen to when others demonstrate things with an open mind.

I have fished many reknown waters all over the USA, and have fished several tournies in my days in many states, as well as having fished with some real well known pros too.

Almost all Gary Yamamoto baits have both scent and salt infused into them; I think the saltwater series of thier soft-plastics do not though.

Despite that, I stll add some Megastrike to all of them.

One guy in this thread says he hooks a bass every time a bass hits his cranks.  Hmm, he better watch a video by reknown underwater photographer Glenn Lau , where he shows bass eating a crankbait on film underwater that the angler NEVER even knew had hit his bait, and it happens REPEATEDLY on film to prove it.

Yeah, I agree totally that Megastrike will tend to make a fish hold onto a lure A LOT LONGER than if it did not have it on it. I have personally tested this by using baits in gin clear water without hooks on them, both with, and without Megastrike. and hands down, I have seen the Megastriked lure get held FAR, FAR longer, over and over again, and that was seen on hookless cranks and jerkbaits, as well as many, many soft-plastics, too.

When fishing heavy weeds, Lily Pads, and wood, slather you soft-plastics or frogs up, and the bait slides right OVER these with ease, as compared to an unslathered bait, which will get stuck to them.

I am an engineer , and I test stuff scientifically over and over to get to my own opinion on things, and I am SOLD on using Megastrike on my lures, after countlesstime testing the effectiveness of it. You say 'show me", heck, I cut my bass fishing teeth in the "show me state", Missouri.

You guys ask for a discount: heck, Bobby [the owner of Megastrike] gives a money back guarantee....

What is a couple of bucks for a tube of it if your lure works so much better for you, really now ??

To top it off, he's a sponsor here, and helps pay for the operating costs of this site where we all learn and/or  share so much, and without those sponsors, who knows if this site would continue operating.

That ALONE should help you to decide, and if that's not enough right there, the money back guaratee should SEAL THE DEAL.

The testimony of serious hard-core, long time bassers like me should somewhat convince you though...

Now, I am not on Megastrikes staff, nor am I even friends with Bobby Uhrig [yet], so there goes that arguement also...

[Bobby Uhrig]

Bobby {and others},

Actually I have met Bobby briefly two years ago at the Rockland NY Outdoors Expo in January{?} or so, where he was there demonstrating his stand up jigs [sorry , I forgot the name right now of them--brain fart]. I remember that, but I am sure he does not, as like I said, our talk then was very brief, and he was talking to A LOT OF GUYS that day.

No, Bobby is NOT my cousin; he was joking. He never met me before that day, nor since. [but that follow-up post he made to mine  was funny as all get out] !!!

I just am one to really let folks know when I like [or dislike] products, and I LIKE MEGASTRIKE.

I am a frogging fanatic, and I slather the stuff all over froggy before it gets cast out. It helps Mr Froggy slide over stuff, and when Mrs. Bighead blows up and eats my frog, I feel the fish holds it longer due to the Megastrike, giving me time to set the hook with authority. I also squirt some in the rear hook hole wher it enters the frog's torso to help seal it temporarily somewhat as it floats so it does not take on as much water when working it.

Thanks for making a great product, Bobby, and thanks for sponsoring this and other Bass fishing sites I that frequent.
