Rich Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I cant imagine the stink being a bad thing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I don't know that I'd be so worried about a dead fish stink on my lures, I'd be more concerned with a perfume/fragrance type smell... baking soda might not be a bad thing, but if it was me... I'd try something to maybe add a little something more to them, maybe a couple cloves of Garlic in the tackle box. I know you prolly think I'm crazy or pulling your leg, but fish really are attracted to garlic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setomonkey Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Would probably help if you can stand the smell! I'd suggest soaking the luers in hot water for awhile and then rinse. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whopper Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 A few fellows pulled a prank on one of my buds and put about a six inch perch in his tackle box and it was in there for a couple of weeks and man did it ever stink. I think he just left his tackle box open for about a week outside and it went away. GCD has a point on the garlic, I've been using some twister tails that are salted garlic and have had some decent success with them lately.

Rich Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 If you must remove the smell, comet (the bathroom cleanser) and warm water will get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cisco Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I'd place a small open container of ground coffee in there and close thelid. After a few days toss the coffee and you'll get a nice coffee smell instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cisco Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 LOL Grog We used to load trailers at Schneiders Meats years ago. Some had a pretty awful smell and still had small claws of crabs on the floor. We'd sprinkle some coffee in there and viola! So why not in a tackle box?
