SOAKING UNSCENTED PLASTIC BAITS

[LAURASDAD]

Hello,

I bought a large assortment of unscented plastics.  Has anyone put plastics in a zip lock bag and let them soak in a scent attractant?  thanks

I put Smelly Jelly(crawfish anise)in with my jig trailers.Don't know that it helps but I know it don't hurt.

yes, works great.  

make sure you seperate colors or they might bleed together even if you dont soak them in scent.

I tried to put garlic powder in a zip lock with some tubes. Did they smell like garlic? , yes, will I do it again? , no. It is just too messy and smelly and I am not sold on the scent factor. I do like the idea of a cover scent, but, as far as crawdad, worm, shad juice, I just don't see where it has made a significant difference when I tried them. What say you? says I ? Sorry, I just watched a old pirate movie this week.

I'm a firm believer in scent as a cover, not as an attractant. I used to squirt the scent in the bags. It is messy. The bags will leak much quicker than the bottles the scent came in. I also came to the conclusion that if the scent was actually capable of penetrating the plastic, it would, over time dissolve the baits. I never had any baits dissolve, so, the scents i use do not penetrate the baits. The only advantage to soaking the baits is you save a few seconds when putting on a new bait. The few seconds saved was not worth the extra mess and stink, to me, so I quit.

Shiver me timbers, mate

I wouldn't trip over it........some of my most productive soft plastics have no scent and no salt ( I do NOT like salt in my plastics) - - they do have ACTION which I believe is far more important.

Make sure you use at least a 3 Mil. Bag if you are putting scent in it.. So the scent don't leak.

I decided that I needed to try to come up with my own "secret" formula and try to add some scent to a couple bags of Culprit worms. Had the recipe just right and dumped the worms in for a two week soak. They came out as hard as #2 pencils and had lost about one inch in length. Decided to retire from the scent business. :-[
