Actually, I heard somewhere that garlic was a fish repellant. I think it
was from the guys that make fish attractants, but can't remember which one
right now. Their theory made sense to me though...

LOL, I think that you were being fed a line Charles by guys that are pushing
something other than garlic. While I'm not a huge fan of scents while
fishing, I've caught a lot of fish with garlic scented lures.

My God, Chompers probably has the highest concentration of garlic of any
lure and I've caught a ton of fish with them. The only problem is when I do
fish them, I get a craving for Italian food!

For the life of me, I don't understand why garlic would be attractive to
fish, but then again, anise oil has been used too. When was the last time
you saw a bass feeding on a school of licorice?
