I agree Rich,if a bass wants to eat your bait,it will.I have heard of guys
using WD-40 as an attractant that works well,if they will hit that,they
will
hit anything.

Not quite. But if I get any gas on my hands willing up the tank or spray
myself with bug spray or grease myself up with sunscreen or whatever, I
don't give it a 2nd thought. Neither do the fish.

Depends on the fish species. Bass just hit movement most of the time, but I
also fish sturgeon and salmon. Sturgeon are basically blind, and eat via
scent. Bad scent, and no fish in the boat. Salmon, are also very scent
oriented like all salmonoids. I have had a tray of bait get caught by the
wind and slid across the top of the portable gas tank and never had a salmon
bite, when all the rest of the boats around me were nailing them. I think
if you are bait fishing bass, then the bad scent on your hands will affect
the catching.
