Scents

[sam.c]

Hi guys,
Was just curious what you guys opinion on scents is. Do you use them? What scents do you use? Do you use them on just soft plastics, or hardbodies as well? For me, I like using S-factor and I apply it to pretty much all lures, but especially on black bream. Anyway, what do you guys think of scents?

Thanks, Sam

I also use Sfactor, however I will only ever apply it if the fishing is slow or hard going. But I do use it on both hards and placcies

I'll always throw a lure with out scent first, if I'm not getting many hits, I'll add a bit of scent. Only use ProCure garlic and shrimp.

I used to make my own by crushing various things bream ate and mixing them with salt and olive oil.

Live crabs - live sand worms - freshly shucked local mussel (not from the market) and crushed local mullet.

I'm not even sure if I was technically lure fishing when I did it but it helped make the transition to lures.

Then I went through a phase of thinking I didnt need scent.....

These days I need every little thing going in my favour - I dont even test the water with an unscented plastic. Everything gets a coating of pro-cure shrimp scent.

The way things have been going over the last couple of weeks - I'm thinking of going back to smearing everything in crushed local bait

I might just carry a mullet around in my pocket and use it like a texta

I'm a big fan of S-Factor, I always use it with plastics and apply it after every 10-15 casts. I'll also use it on hardbodies if the fishing is super slow. I also like the garlic Dizzy scent.

The only time I throw out an unscented soft plastic is when I run out of scent

Only problem with Dizzy's garlic scent is you can't get rid of the smell after. Strongest stuff ever made.
