skinny Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 years ago 15=20 I was fishing with a buddy in long point in his small boat when a small rain started . We slipped into a small cut in the bull rushes and were fishing for pan fish. he pulled out this bottle about shape and size of a mickey. He said watch this and he put 2 drops in the water and the fish were going nuts after it. it smelt like black liquorish (anise) it was amazing I have never forgot that because of the effect. I curently do not use any but I'm thinking of trying some. what do you use or have tried what works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lape0019 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I use the garlic scented Berkley gulp spray. My buddy uses the crawfish stuff and they boathouse work well. I have no idea why the garlic scent works, but it does... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Yes, but only for a few applications. Kawartha Walleye in the spring is def one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 A small worm has worked for me since I was a teenager. I use gulp products mostly, and a few others, but gulp is the one I have the most confidence in. I can't remember the last time I used bait.

bare foot wader Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 huge fan of the gulp products, even hanging them on a tip up...just be careful if you're ever fishing waters with a bait ban, per BC and AB regs gulp is classified as bait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Yup,gulp is great. Maggots,minnow heads,fry. Great pan fish baits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musky666 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I use Gulp saltwater trailers for my spinnerbaits- cant hurt to have scent as opposed to not- even in faster applications like trolling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 If it's in the bait for sure, but to spray it on? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushart Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I used to use (Just haven't found any recently) A garlic Gel in a tube---it was great for injecting the hollow part of tubes---would stay on longer than liquids I know some guys would break up "Alka Seltzer" and put em in tubes also---would bubble out to attract I would also use snap on rattles on my tube jig heads---another attractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattaw Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I use the bio edge scents depending on what I'm fishing, I really like their frog stick for my topwater frogs. They seem to help a slow bite. I also use Kick'n bass (And am going to try kick'n walleye this spring). That stuff is GREAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I started out with gulp attractant and i dont think it helped or hurt. Then i switched to berkleys scents and i really like the bass one, which i find works better for walleye then anything else lol. Imo they work but i think a lot of that is because it masks the scent on your hands. I can tell ya one thing, if you don't smoke you'll catch more fish. I really believe fish are turned off by that crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunatic Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 had gulp garlic spray once. never caught anything with it and it leaked in my tackle box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Most of the soft plastics I use are already scented. I'll only touch the scent bottle when I'm in dire straits, does it work? Who knows but it makes me feel more confident lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burtess Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Back in the '90's I used Dr. Juice all the time. It came in the small (like 2oz?) bottle and you just put a drop on. I caught fish so I guess it didn't hurt.... Have not used scents in years though, maybe I should revisit it??? Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I used the ProCure shrimp scent on a few of the rivers in BC (with no bait ban). It kept the lures stinky for a long time and I did notice I was able to catch a few more fish compared to unscented lures. That ProCure stuff is very potent...A little goes a long way - don't get it on your hands like I did I bought the GULP herring spray last season with the intension of sweetening up my ice fishing lures for lakers...When I bought it, I didn't think that it would solidify in the cold...trying to spray my lures in -10 degrees was an exercise in futility.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Surprised nobody said fish oil soft gels??? Cheap, and work great on spoons, but deadly in a tube. 180 softgels cost about 10 bucks at Walmart. Help those fish get their EPA/DHA hahaha Edited April 6, 2014 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
