farmpond1 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 The answer to this question probably varies from product to product but here it is: Do scents go bad over time? I've got an old bottle of attractant which still occupies space in my tackle box. When I say "old", I mean, over 10 years old. I don't use it often, obviously, but I hate throwing something away I paid good money for. Should I toss it or does it still have some worth? Quote
Super User Raul Posted November 20, 2007 Super User Posted November 20, 2007 The only way to know fer shure is to try with a drop and admire the "bouquet", if you faint after sniffing at it then it most probably be not exactly good. Quote
bass109 Posted November 20, 2007 Posted November 20, 2007 I wouldnt use it if you plan to release your fish, might harm their health if its a 10 year old scent for bass. I dont think it really matters for catfish. Quote
Super User Marty Posted November 21, 2007 Super User Posted November 21, 2007 I have a bottle of Kick'n'Bass garlic from 2001 that still is effective. Quote
frogtog Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I use Spike-it and it will go bad on you, especially if it stays in the sun any at all. I will discard mine after about two months. The dye and smell just aren't there any more. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 21, 2007 Super User Posted November 21, 2007 Buy some MegaStrike. Quote
Branuss04 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I had some bad on me. It actually completely hardened. Don't know what kind it was. Seemed to be a paste of somekind. Just buy more. Scent isn't too expensive. Quote
bait__Monkey Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 They go bad, replace all used bottles each spring Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted November 22, 2007 Super User Posted November 22, 2007 The Force Be With You Bananna Breath is a part of many posts. He disguises himself under many names, but takes credit for all. Quote
frogtog Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 Just what I needed, something to strain my brain on. Who is it? Quote
