Scents and Such

Is it the scent or the action?  For my money it's the action that draws attention, and the scent that keeps the lure in the fish's mouth long enough for a hookset.  So, it makes sense to use scents when the fish need a little extra coaxing or you need a bit more confidence in a sketchy bite.  For soft plastics, I'd consider scents especially desirable.

Folks fishing plastics make good use of scents, noticing that the bass hold onto the lure longer, percentages favor the guys who use the smelly stuff.  I really like using the squid flavored 1 oz. squid from Smelly Jelly.  The stuff has the right smell, and it stays on a bait well.  It's a perfect finishing touch on a squid imitation lure.  A lot of guys are also making use of the baitfish scents in their halibut fishing.  Soak a sponge, insert it up into a hollow-body squid along with your hook and/or weight and drop her down and out.  Lots of ways to use these products beyond simply spreading on your plastics, but that's a good enough reason to grab a few of our offerings.

One of the newer fish attracting products locally is UniButter, a natural product made as a by product of Catalina Island's sea urchin harvest. Divers have long known that you could attract the attention of fish by cracking open a sea urchin. There's a reason these things have spines, they're not bad to eat. Visit a sushi restaurant, you'll find a sea urchin sushi on the menu. While it may not be my favorite form of "sush," a lot of folks love it, just as the fish do. UniButter is available in 2 ounce containers. Rub it on any artificial lure, soft plastic, anything that you'd like fish to be attracted to or hang onto. The stuff works well, and has earned some very good believers. Several of the guys at our shop use it, and they all say its the best

Pro-Cure is another exceptional manufacturer of fish attracting scents.  Pro-Cure is very appealing for a number of reasons. Their products are less "chemically" treated, made out of the real thing with some additional flavors and oils.  Make use of scent on any hard or soft bait for added attraction.  Fish will indeed hang on longer and take your lure with more gusto if it tastes natural.  With the addition of fish and bait oils in the mixtures you also benefit from a nice scent trail.

Consider "curing" your plastics in a baggie with some of these scents for an hour or so prior to use.  You'll like the results, as will the fish you're seeking.  The baby octopus baits can be quite effective for bottom dwelling fish.  Again, prior to use, take out a couple baits and give 'em a rinse or shake off the excess packing liquid.  Soak them in one of the oil or sauce scents below for greater effectiveness.  The sauces come in 2 ounce bottles.
