About JJs magic, do you use the chartreuse color or one of the others? I think I want to give it a try this season.

use the clear stuff if you want to scent the whole bait

I use JJ's Magic most of the time for my soft plastics. I dip the whole thing in clear first and if I need any color I will then dip the tail in chartreuse. Then when I need some color added to a white fluke I use Blue. Merthiolate added to a white trick worm or frog is the best bubblegum color you will ever see.

I am a believer that JJ's will get you more bites out of a school of fish. I credit my two 30+ fish days on the Guntersville Trip to JJ's.

And I credit JJ's with me getting bit in that same school.  The different colors are fun to mess around with too.  Sure makes some pretty baits...

Well I read part of a book on this but can not remamer the name. Nightcrawler scent triggers the most feeding habits. Crawfish is second and after that is salt garlic and a few others. garlic was only at about 3% and salt was close to it where as nightcrawler at top was at about 80%. Then why do so many companies push salt and garlic so hard? Well, I recently bought a nightcrawler crawfish, and garlic scent to test which is best. All 3 are the Gulp! Alive spray so brand will not be a factor.

While were on the subject of scents...... I've noticed there are numerous YUM fans here on BR.  I bought a bottle of Yum craw scent a few years back.  It is a deep craw red and will change the color of plastics to that craw red.    

This is the only bottle of Yum craw I have ever heard do this as others I have talked to, who have bought Yum craw scent, have not experienced this red dye syndrome.  

Has anyone else ever experienced this with Yum craw?

Smelly Jelly. For bass I like the crawdaddy, bass feast, and baitfish flavors. SJ stays on better than anything else. It isn't magic (no scent is) but it can turn a few lookers into biters. May as well use every advantage as you can.
