    I have been wanting to try a scent product ,but i don't know if they really work or not. Does anyone know if they really work and if so can you recomend one to me ? I love to fish for bass & i have alot of different lures like most of fishermen do , but i was wondering if these scent product's i see advertised are for real or not.

    I have been experimenting with a couple of different products this year and really haven't noticed much if any difference. I plan on continuing my test through the summer. One benefit I did notice is that the Gulp spray will rejuvenate dried out Gulp bait. Tom

    Under cretin situations yes . usaly when you are forced to slow your presentation down to a crawl .I like Berkly strike or other Berkly products but that's just me.
    the faster you can move your lure and still catch fish the less effect scents will have.

    Scents are mainly for slow moving baits like lizzard, worms, craws such as that and yes they do work. My favorite is a product called Smelly Jelly in bass feast, It is made here in the Northwest but you can get at Cabela's. Another product that my sponsor makes is Pautzke's BASS FACTOR it is a patrolium base scent that stays on your bait longer that most. MY boat never leaves the launch without Smelly Jelly and Pautzke's onboard.

    Thankyou all for your help ! i think i will go to cabelas and try some smelly jelly and the slow approach on  a lizard & see what happens. IF anyone knows could you let me know if i can put scent on a plastic worm and let it sit like a real one to wait for fish to strike ?

    I have been planning to try out tipping my spinners and spoons with a piece of berkley power worm or a gulp worm to add a little scent and encourage fish to bite and hang on longer.

    I rarely ever use scented baits. One time me and my friend did a test of scented baits vs. non-scented baits. I caught just as many bass with non-scented baits than my friend did with scented baits. Try it and see if you like it!

    I use them mostly to take my scent off of the bait, as well as any other unnatural scents on the bait that might deter a fish from striking it. So yes, they do help out. But lure presentation is still the most important thing! Don't rely on attractants alone.
