Super User iceintheveins Posted May 22, 2010 Super User Posted May 22, 2010 I just used mega strike attractant for the first time the other day, on my plastics. I am a person who is VERY skeptical of scents, thinking action and presentation are more important for bass fishing. Well I can say safely megastrike does add a few extra strikes and the bass really hold onto the plastic. It is worth it guys! Quote
Gamec0cks5 Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Good to hear I just ordered some from TW last night Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted May 22, 2010 Super User Posted May 22, 2010 To bad it doesn't come in a trout scent... Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 22, 2010 Author Super User Posted May 22, 2010 It's not magic but it certainley seems to help sluggish bass decide to strike and hold on better. Stays on much better than Smelly Jelly and doesn't melt in the intense Colorado sun. Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Was using it on some Spro Frogs the other day-When the bass hit the baits I would let them take it for about 3 seconds then set the hook. Got some solid hooksets and none of the ten or more bass released it before setting the hook.One actually had it almost down its throat and had to get snips and cut the hook and push them through. The bass was released unharmed-more than I can say for my frog-8 bucks- tick me off- Quote

Gettin' close to frog season here, some weeds are starting to poke through the surface. Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Wait til I start packaging the WING DINGS "THE NEW FROG ALTERNATIVE" These things are sick over weeds-Goo-em up Quote
TrippyJai Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I haven't seen much improvements in my strike last year, but I like this product a lot. It gives me a lot of confidence in what I am throwing. It keeps unwanted scent away, makes the bait more lubed so it comes through cover easier and maybe the scent will make a uninterested bass take the bait, but I give an opinion on that yet, I haven't used it enough to tell.

Super User iceintheveins Posted May 23, 2010 Author Super User Posted May 23, 2010 At the very least I know it doesn't hurt to use it and it will cover up sunscreen or other scents. Quote
Redhed Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 do you guys pre soak your baits with it and let it sit in the bag or do you spray and toss? i dont use scents. well rarely do i use them Quote
tyrius. Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 do you guys pre soak your baits with it and let it sit in the bag or do you spray and toss? i dont use scents. well rarely do i use them Megastrike isn't a spray. It's kind of like Vaseline. It does 2 things. First it's a scent that works. Second it coats the plastic so it slides through weeds more easily. I don't necessarily believe in scents attracting bass from a distance. However, I think scents mask harmful odors and help to have a bass hang on for another second or two. That extra time helps greatly in setting the hook. Quote

Bobby Uhrig Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Dont pre soak them -to me that is a waste -Just add a dab as needed. Feel the bait -if its not slick or slimy reapply Quote
Mike Z Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 You asked if we soaked or sprayed and he said it wasn't a spray. That was an answer to your question. More specifically, it is a jelly in a tube that gets thinner as it heats up. The same force I use to squeeze out a small drop when it's 60 out got me a whole finger full yesterday at 80 and sunny. LOL Anyway, Some people squeeze a little into their bait bags and ork the bag to distribute the stuff around. Me, I just rub some on the worm or whatever when I put it on the line. I don't tournament fish, so the 1 minute extra it takes for the step of applying it when i put the bait on is no big deal for me. Quote
Dixon Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 The stuff hardens up in the winter. My only knock on it. Otherwise not bad Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted May 25, 2010 Author Super User Posted May 25, 2010 The stuff hardens up in the winter. My only knock on it. Otherwise not bad Hardens up when you leave it sit in your house for the winter or on the water? Quote
Mike Z Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 The stuff hardens up in the winter. My only knock on it. Otherwise not bad Hardens up when you leave it sit in your house for the winter or on the water? It doesn't harden up at all. It become more solid with lower temperatures. When I purchased my tube about a month ago it was in the 50s here mostly. I had to squeeze like heck to get a little dab out. I made a post about it and the majority of the responses were to put the tube in your front pocket. I did just that and it worked like a charm. The tube was far easier to squeeze. This past weekend it was mid 80s and sunny and leaving the tube in the box got me an even more liquid form. Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 My girlfriend said to me the other day" Is that a tube of MegaStrike in your pocket or are you just happy to see me". I said "BOTH" Quote

ib_of_the_damned Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 I have always wanted to try some megastrike attractant, haven't gotten around to it yet. Probably cuz its a gel, I prefer(have only used) spray scents. If megastrike ever comes out with a spray attractant, I'd be all over that... Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted May 30, 2010 Super User Posted May 30, 2010 The problem with spray's is, they tend to come off once the bait hits the water..whereas Megastrike Sticks to the bait, for several cast's. I personally wouldn't waste my $$$ on a spray..I have a couple cans of bang that have sat in the garage for a loooonnnnnggg time.. ;D Quote

I think I've got a can of BANG sitting in my garage thats at least six or seven years old. Megastrike = good stuff Quote
