Scent

[Hanansong]

Hey guys. I got a couple of scents and cured for my plastics and lures. I was wondering if decent plays a big role in bass fishing. Maybe it works in a certain season or time? I don't really know but I just put some on for extra measures.

Thanks for all the info

Use to use it religiously many years ago, messy, got all over boat.

Quit using it and bass never complained.

I like scent it works in my mind. I get more bites on scented baits then not. But it could all be in my mind. ??‍♂️ Helps me with confidence and that’s all that matters if you don’t have confidence when you fish you probably won’t catch many fish.

Hmm...

 

I use MegaStrike

I have used scents in the past like Megastrike and when I was using it I felt it helped....But I havent added scent in a couple years and do not really think about it. Most baits have scent cooked into them, salt etc....I have always felt that bass do hold onto powerbait longer, but that could be in my head.

I use to use scent a little bit.  I quit using it and have noticed no change

Stretched out TRD and megastrike goes together like lamb and tuna fish.

 

I'm a believer in it out fishing a non scented bait.

What I’ve noticed is that a lot of scents contain an oily substance. This substance leaves a trail in the water. Maybe fish can see or smell this trail. I use Megastrike and SlabSlobber scents.

Spike it works with TRDs no problem that I’ve noticed, but I’ve heard Jjs will melt it also.

I used to use it, but have not for years, now that you brought it up I may give it a try again.

I use Megastrike on all my plastics, especially my swimbaits. Bass seem to hold on to them much longer than without the scent. I've said this before, long time ago, Bobby whipped me up some Trout scent, which has long since been gone. To bad the trout is no longer available..

Megastrike and pro cure are what I use. After watching MLF, I have come to realize that the pros rarely use the stuff. Because of that I have drastically reduced my use.

I use it on some soft plastics. But if I'm throwing a Berkley worm, craw or shad I don't scent them. I have the confidence in how I use it. I believe it works on how I use it. I use only two versions. 

 

I would only tell you is to buy a reputable scent and try it. If it helps you, fine. If you see no difference at all, so be it. Your not out all that much money.
