Location: Wausau | What are your thoughts on lure scents?
Was fishing a tournament this past weekend and saw some other fisherman spray down his lure before using. Do scents work? Any recommendations? |

If you want to see something funny bring that question up tonight to me and my partner at league, you would get a chuckle. He is Mr. Scent!
Me personally, I don't put any stock in a scents triggering effects on musky. I do think it could be used to cover up a negative scent in some extreme conditions, but I think a good bar of soap would do just as good and is significantly cheaper. |

Location: Holly, MI | I play with scents on occasion. The biggest trouble is getting sticky or oily (hands,boat, etc).
I read a quote once, way back, and don't remember it exactly but it was something like.."Pike do not have a sense of smell, but fisherman know better".
Covering up a negative scent is usefull with picky fish. I do carry a bar of scent-free soap in a sandwich baggie in my box at all times. It is easy to get a little oil or gas on your hands launching the boat or other ways.
Look at the massive amounts of money spent on musky fishing, what is a couple of more measly dollars. ... can it hurt? |

Location: Pittsburgh, PA | I bought a bottle recently. Right now, I spray it on my hands when I bait up. Too soon to tell if it makes a difference.
