whats the fish attracting juce made of like they use 4 gulp or other scented brands

Thats a good question. Each company has it's own formula for making scents, and most all of the are well guarded secrets. One of my sponsers make a fish attractent and all I know is that they use a patrulim base in the mixture but I have no idea what the attractent is. So you may never find out what's in it.

I would guess a good main ingredient would be some kind of fish oil extract, like the kind in a pill. That kind of fish oil by itself can be a good attractant.

I'm guessing something made from some strong fish oil.  When I was king fishing offshore we use to build a chum line out of cut bait.  A friend and I devised a pcv contraption where you could put a gallon of  menhaden oil.  You could adjust it to a slow drip which seemed to add to the chum line but I don't know about inshore except from the natural names of cray fish or shad.  Sometimes, people use anise oil for bass--same stuff they make licorice candy from.  Works good on plastic worms, etc. I have even used meal seed cakes to encourage catfish to certain areas. Works good for carp, also.  Good luck and let us know what else you hear or try.  Uncle Tom 

I prefer the real thing. Live shrimp, pogies, and finger mullet. When I go surf fishing I use live shrimp. I pull the heads off and put the body on the hook. Caught some nice reds that way and lots of whiting. Never have use anything on the artificial bait I use and have done well that way. Maybe I'll try thaty smelly stuff some time.

I've been using ProCure bait scents
I know the bait fish smack the heck out of my lures as I'm reeling them through their territory and the stuff stays on
I can hardly get it off my lures or my hands when I get home
and it do stink.

I've heard of a few people that use WD40 as an attractant. Personally I cant see using it because I like to eat what I catch and don't want to ruin my favorite fishing spots with an oil slick, but like basbandit said above, most prepackaged attractants ARE petroleum based.

After reading all these posts about juice and fish attractants I thought I might share one of those "believe it or not deals".
My Dad who will turn 84 this month is an avid fisherman and has been all his life.  Several years ago Dad and one of my uncles were fishing for crappie at Lake Sinclair near Milledgewille, Ga.  They had a pretty good morning jigging and decided to stop for a while and have lunch while the fishing had slowed down.  They were fishing with what we call a mini jig or very small tube.  It was a light tan or flesh color.  Dad had brought along a watermelon and sliced it as they were eating lunch.
For some reason he laid his jig in the watermelon and before he realized it had turned to a strange pink color.  With lunch over he started back jigging and caught slab after slab.  It took my uncle almost 30 minutes to give in and give the new color a try.  When he did he had the same results.  It was in the fall of the year and was getting hard to find watermelons.  Dad even had me check the supermarkets near my home and since we talk every night on the phone I would keep him aware until the final watermelons were gone.  What we won't do to get an edge!  Come on guys you can't top that one or maybe you can?  Good luck and good fishing and don't pass up the chance to eat a little watermelon.  Uncle Tom  If you save the juice in your freezer don't tell the wife what it is or she'll through it out--that is unless she fishes!

Nice story.
