Garlic, Baitfish, Crawfish or Anise Oil

I seldom use it.  It has to be real slow before I soak a bait.  I'm sure it might help them holding the bait a little longer.  If I do use it, I use a Dandy Dipper, which I dip a bait, and then throw it.  It makes dipping really easy.  It has a screw top which you use when moving from place to place, no spill!.  It hooks under a cleat, and actually hangs off the boat, and over the water.  Drippings go in the water, not the boat.  Nice little tool, for those who use sent a lot.  Dipping does leave a sented oil trail in the water as you move the bait.

Megastrike

Yum or Gulp Crawfish scent

Reel Snot Java

 

Most of the time its Megastrike, the other stuff is scents I got on clearance.

None. I like how anise smells the most. Fish seem to like whatever Berkley Powerbait is called.

Fish Sticks, usually the crawfish but occasionally the shad.

 

Ironically, in the 5 times I have been on an Elite anglers boat, the pro's I have been with have never used scent.  David Fritts spent 8 hours last Thursday dragging a Carolina rig around with a small beaver bait and not once used scent.

I just started using JJ's Magic which is garlic.  Haven't really been out enough to see if it helps.

I've used garlic and Berkley bass attractant, I can't tell the difference between scented and unscented.

If and when I do which is becoming more rare I use 1/3 anise and 2/3 baby oil

I jj magic’d My backpack twice, and the couch. I promptly threw it away. I’ve never used the jj’s, and it’s almost entirely gone, when I used spike it a few times I noticed no difference in bites or how long they would hang on, so I don’t bother anymore.

Spike it more for the color (chartreuse dipping the tail or claws) then scent. Megastrike if I use scent at all then usually with jigs or unscented plastics.

They make frog?? What's next duck or snake?

Yes they do. As far as the other two given the bowling pin sized baits some are throwing I wouldn't be surprised.

Megastrike 90% of the time. The other 10%, garlic chartreuse pen, mostly for the color.

I have Pro-Cure Crawfish and Megastrike... haven't noticed any difference using them over not using them. What seems to work better are the Powerbaits and coffee scented lures. Those have caught me a few fish. Other traditional soft baits that just smell like plastic/rubber, haven't seen any difference adding scent to them or not. Fish either bite them or don't.
