kyron4 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 I had used this for year and my last bottle from a few years ago finally ran out, now I can't find it anywhere. Did they go out of business ? Is there a close substitute or similar product ? I always used the "Gamefish" marked scent. -Thanks Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted December 27, 2013 Super User Posted December 27, 2013 Try MegaStrike, it's a game changer! Quote
Super User Catt Posted December 27, 2013 Super User Posted December 27, 2013 Still make it & I still use it 1 Quote

Super User Catt Posted December 27, 2013 Super User Posted December 27, 2013 Bass Pro Shops or order on line I add 1/2 oz pure anise oil to a bottle & put it in a spray bottle. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted December 27, 2013 Super User Posted December 27, 2013 I am with RW, try out megastrike. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted December 27, 2013 BassResource.com Administrator Posted December 27, 2013 I used the stuff years and years ago. I didn't like the oily sheen left of the water from it washing off the bait. Seemed it didn't last more than a few casts. Plus I really didn't see any difference in catching more fish. Megastrike lasts much longer, and catches fish! Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted December 27, 2013 Super User Posted December 27, 2013 Megastrike works well. The goo is for you! 1 Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted December 27, 2013 Super User Posted December 27, 2013 Which Megastike are you guys using? I have been only using the original formula. Quote
nascar2428 Posted December 27, 2013 Posted December 27, 2013 Which Megastike are you guys using? Original and crawfish for me. Quote
kyron4 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Posted December 28, 2013 Bass Pro doesn't have the Fish Formula. Did a Goggle search and turned up nothing. Their web site is defunct . So I guess I'll look into the Megastrike. Quote
KDW96 Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Megastrike will stay on your bait longer. Original is my choice......... Also Smelly Jelly Pro formula works too Quote
JT Bagwell Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 I remember having that Fish Formula stuff in Game Fish and Worm scent. I swore by it as a kid. The down side is it was so stinking messy and didn't stay on the bait long. I am like everyone else here. I use Megastrike and have for probably going on 10 years (or however long Bobby has been selling it). FLW Pro Dave Lefebre is the person that got me trying it before he was a big name on the tour.

Super User Catt Posted December 30, 2013 Super User Posted December 30, 2013 I can tell y'all one thing Fish Formula is better than Megastrike at! Carpet removal! My youngest son stepped on a bottle & every where it soaked through, the carpet came loose. 1 1 Quote
SENKOSAM Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Creative Concepts USA, the company that produced The Original Fish Formula, no longer exists and there are no sources to buy it from. I still have a bottle that's lasted 10 years and use it sparingly to lubricate plastics to prevent catching on weeds and rocks. As far as man-made scents/ attractants go, not my cup of tea. Quote
epicdoom Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 I have a bottle of the fish formula Flippin I used a different one made by that company that had glitter mixed in it worked very well for not only helping bass hang onto the lure but also it would help keep it clean of all weeds including eel grass I loved the stuff and now its gone I have tried the flippin and it just isn't the same as far as Bass holding the lure or enticing them to strike it it is still working to keep the grass off the bait though s not all is lost I have tried the mega strike and IMO its junk doesn't work at all I have better luck with buying a container of fish food from the pet store and mixing it in with fish oil it smells like Berkley power worm scent and works well however still not as good as my old fish formula Quote

papajoe222 Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 My wife used to call it 'go go juice' and we used both the original and the offering with glitter. The anise oil was great at masking the plastic smell, so much so that I'd spray some in the bags of new plastics. Quote
Blueball Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 Fish formula is making a come back,they already have a couple products out. https://www.theoriginalfishformula.com/ Quote
