Adding Scent To Elaztech Plastics ?

[ChrisD46]

I have seen a reference to adding Pro-Cure gel scent to Elaztech soft plastics (Zman , Strike King) - just checking if anyone has tried Elaztech soft plastics with : BANG , Mega Strike , Kick'n Bass , etc. scents ? Conversely , are there any scents to stay away from ? ... I ask as I want to avoid placing a scent on a Elaztech soft plastic that would change the soft plastic structure or worse case - turn it into a melted pile of goo. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences in adding scents to Elaztech soft plastics !

Don't dip them in JJ's. Megastrike is fine though.

Yep^^

I tried the 

 Elaztech Critters

 

I didn't like them. As soon as they get wet the don't hold well on the hook. I'm not into taking super glue fishing with me. Plus, why bother with a bait that's a pain in the neck, to many good baits out there that aren't a hassle. 

 

I wish you good luck with them though.

Being able to catch more fish on a single bait than you can with a whole bag of a similar bait made of regular plastic is a good enough reason for me. Sometimes the best way isn't the easy way.

You should be into taking super glue with you or something. It is a tiny bottle that only costs a couple dollars and can  make a huge difference. Personally I am not into having to constantly slide my trailer back up all day long. I will find room for that little bottle somehow and take the 10 seconds to add a drop of glue.

Just as an FYI - so far I have confirmed Megastrike , Strike King Coffee , Smelly Jelly and Pro-Cure all have been used with success on the Elaztech (ZMan , Strike King 3X) soft plastics . I am going to experiment with BANG and Kick'n Bass , Jack's Juice , Gulp , etc. and report back as I expect they should perform similar as above mentioned .

Baitmate scents. YUM scents

When your favorite scent isn't working try garlic.

With pre-scented or salted plastics I use no scents on the first cast. If I get a strike and a miss one shot of scent is a 100% hookup on the next cast.

Up til now I don't have a problem adjusting my baits. It gives me the opportunity to check my line.

I'm not tournament fishing any more. Maybe if I were I'd use the super glue.

As far as the Baits go I'm good with my decision.

Ned used to use Gulp before he switched to Pro-Cure, so I'm sure it is safe to use.
