BassFishingMachine Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Hey im looking for a spray scent that will not dye the color of Jig skirts or softbaits and is not sticky either. Is there a spray scent out there that matches this description? Im basiclly going to use it to spray on jigs/softbaits. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 5, 2007 Super User Posted October 5, 2007 BANG! Its basically just a cover scent and comes in different flavors. Garlic, anise, crawfish.... Quote
Triton9 Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Jack's Juice is my favorite and comes in lots of scents. wont dye your baits or anything of the sort Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 My favorite is MegaStrike for all applications, but that was not your question. So for a spray, I use YUM craw scent. It goes on a little red, but as soon as the bait hits the water the red disappears but the STINK stays. The stuff reeks like freakin' gross rotten craws, but it's really good. I use it when I really want to stink the fish out. Caught my PB on a GYCB Kreature doused with this stuff. Quote

Bass_Akwards Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 Studies have shown that fishes smell is 1000x as strong as a dogs, so I started using Yum craw scent lately. I've been wondering how long that stuff really lasts though. It really does stink when you put it on, but when I cast it, and then retrieve it, and pull it out of the water, the smell is all but gone when I try to smell it. Maybe the fish can still smell it, but I sure cant. I really wonder how long the craw smell will stay on that bait, so a fish can smell it. 1 cast? 20? I've thought about maranading some of my lures in some scent over night to see if it makes the scent last longer. t Quote
jb_adams Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 You've been watching bill dance. I saw where he made the statement about 1000x stronger than dogs. Should have seen my face. I think the only real way to keep a scent on a bait is to have the scent in the plastic as the bait is being made. Chompers for example.....my truck still smells like one little jig trailer. MAN that scent is pretty strong. I like BANG spray in the can and bottle. BANG crawfish is a good scent but I too question how long the scent lasts. Jay Yellas used GULP Alive! all year long on swimbaits and won the Angler of the Year on the FLW trail. Must be something to it. I've been meaning to try it because its supposedly stronger than natural bait. Do bait scents work? OH you better believe it. I had my PB on a stringer beneath a small jon boat while I continued to fish. I sprayed some YUM garlic scent spray on a buzzbait and the instant the spray hit the water, that bass started thrashing like crazy. He wanted off that stringer and the scent was so strong, it drove him nuts. Just a fine mist hit the water and he instantly smelled it. I got my lesson on spray scents that day. Quote
AnglerNFuego Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 http://cbshawgsauce.comgood stuff... Same stuff I use. Great stuff!!! Quote
skillet Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I'm mostly a bank fisherman and just don't need anything else to carry around (at my age ;D). Do any of you spray a little in the bags or pretty much after putting the bait on the hook? Thanks... As Ever, skillet Quote
jb_adams Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I've sprayed some in the bag the plastics are in. The funk stays in the bag! So yeah, that can work. I prefer to spray after I've handled the bait and left my scent on the bait. Quote
Avalonjohn44 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 I hardly ever use scent, unless it is already baked in, like powerbait, yum or whatever. The spray-on or smear-on stuff always manages to spill where I don't need it spilled, like my car, or my garage floor, my kids, etc. One thing I have tried a couple of times is catching a bluegill, cutting it up, and tossing it in a bucket with a little bit of water in it, then letting it sit in the sun with a jig, buzzbait, spinnerbait, and/or worm soaking in it. It has never hurt my fishing, and might've helped, but I don't try it enough to know for sure. Then just dump the bucket out at the end of the day, and feed the catfish... Quote

LOL I bet it works tho Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 If you're gonna be texas/carolina rigging your plastics I would not spray the scent in the bag. It makes the worm/misc plastic slide off the hook very easily so you'll be fixing the rig all day. Rig it up and spray the bait afterwards. If you're worried about the scent wearing off, don't. Just because you can't smell it doesn't mean the fish can't. The main purpose of scent is to make the fish hold on once he has it, not necessarily to attract the fish to the bait (although this may happen sometimes). Quote
