Do you guys use insect repellent when your fishing ?

Any problems with it repelling fish, if it gets on your lures ?

The reason I'm asking is I got a call from a company that swears their
insect repellent actually could be used as a fish attractant on lures,
they are sending me some for testing. If this stuff works for me ? I
may need a couple of you guys to test it as well, if your interested ?

I've tried several products but the only thing that really
works is Deet. Deet will melt a plastic fly line and render
any fly it touches totally unusable for trout fishing, but
it's the only insect repellant that works. I buy 100% Deet
in spray-on bottles so I can spritz it on without getting
it on my hands.

If the stuff you get works on dense swarms of black flies,
clouds of mosquitos and countless no-see-ums as well as
Deet, I'd be very surprised but interested in giving it a
try. After you. ;-)
