 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 "butter"
style attractants work best lightly rubbed on your lure. The
sauces come in 2 ounce bottles, the butter/paste product is 1.5 ounces
per tub.
