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!

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.

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-

I plan to grease me frawgs up with some as well. Gettin' close to frog season here, some weeds are starting to poke through the surface.

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.

At the very least I know it doesn't hurt to use it and it will cover up sunscreen or other scents.

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.

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

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.

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.

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"

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...

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

Nothing better than seeing that oil slick right after you drop your lure into the water.  I think I've got a can of BANG sitting in my garage thats at least six or seven years old.

Megastrike = good stuff
