Wagster Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 Which do you prefer between Megastrike and Pro-Cure gel? Thanks! Quote
Super User Sam Posted August 17, 2017 Super User Posted August 17, 2017 Sorry, but never heard of Pro-Cure gel. I use MegaStrike and it works for me. Other guys have their favorites, too. it boils down to confidence in your scent. 1 Quote
skeet8 Posted August 17, 2017 Posted August 17, 2017 I like the Megastrike also. Sometimes I use Bang when I don't want my hands smelling like Megastrike. 1 Quote
Super User Oregon Native Posted August 17, 2017 Super User Posted August 17, 2017 Have used most of em....always go back to Smelly Jelly 1 Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted August 17, 2017 Super User Posted August 17, 2017 Megastrike, but I would pay a dollar more if they put a flip top cap on it. I have a bought three or four different brands of toothpaste trying to find one with a cap that will fit. 4 Quote
Falkus Posted August 18, 2017 Posted August 18, 2017 Megastrike and Smelly Jelly (Garlic) Sometimes I would rub the Smelly Jelly Garlic on my neck to get extra scent for my wife when I get home from fishing 2 Quote
Super User Cgolf Posted August 18, 2017 Super User Posted August 18, 2017 I tried pro cure for a while and Liquid Mayhem and Atlas Mike's before that both outperformed pro cure by a wide margin. 11 hours ago, Bunnielab said: Megastrike, but I would pay a dollar more if they put a flip top cap on it.

Surprised megastrike doesn't have it, knowing my luck I would drop the cap in the water lol. 1 Quote

That is why I keep changing brands every time I have to buy a new tube, I have yet to find the magic one. I bought a pair of Hudds to try out and to keep them lubed I cut off a small chunk of kitchen sponge and keep in a plastic bag soaked in Megastrike, it makes it really simple to re-lube the lure every so often, I might just switch to that method for everything. 2 Quote

I use Megastrike but what is really strange, I just bought some Colgate toothpaste today in the 6 oz size, in the fresh mint. Sure enought, the flip cap fits. I don't think I have ever bought Colgate. Don't tell my wife I tried the toothpaste cap on the ms. 2 Quote

As much as I use this stuff, (the scent & the tooth paste - but not at the same time) I'll admit to feeling a little like a knucklehead for not getting on this earlier. It's one of those little things that's worth the effort. Thank You. A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted August 20, 2017 Super User Posted August 20, 2017 Like Megastrike a lot. However had an issue with the back end of the tube leaking product. Contacted the company and never heard back. At $8 a tube I just chalked it up as a defective product or something that got through quality control. Have bought another tube since then but was less than impressed with their customer service. I also like Smelly Jelly in the tubes in the liquid form, specifically the bait fish flavor. Use it on flukes all the time. Quote
Super User WRB Posted August 20, 2017 Super User Posted August 20, 2017 Pro Cure trout is a mainstay for dedicated big swinbaits. I don't know any swimbait anglers who use Megastrike. Smaller soft plastic s, worms and craws, MegaStrike is a popular attractant. Tom 1 Quote
Super User fishwizzard Posted August 20, 2017 Super User Posted August 20, 2017 Oh man, I had totally discounted that type of cap, I was looking for this style; @Bobby Uhrig, the people are crying out for flip-caps! Heck, add a flip-cap, put a racing red stripe on the tube, and sell it as the "Pro Edition" for a buck fifty more! 2 Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Kicker--send me your address-I have tubes here for ya-- Just a quick story I had a guy 2 years ago calling up our office -my secretary said "Bobby you have an irate customer on the phone" so I answer and say "yes sir can I help you?'' He started barking off by saying I have a problem with your tube of Megastrike-I said Ok I'm listening --He said the back end opened up and went all over my boat - I said what happened -He said I stepped on it-- I said how much you weigh -he said 240 I said ya fat bass$%$ no wonder it broke-- he started laughing-and I sent him 3 new tubes--Now he calls me once a month just to shoot the $hit-- 6 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted August 22, 2017 Super User Posted August 22, 2017 Also a fan of Pro-Cure... seems to be really popular out west but maybe not so much in the south and east. 1 Quote
