Default Best Scent

IMHO, scent products are nothing but a crutch. A placebo crutch at that.


Some years ago my catches on spinnerbaits went into extremely sharp decline.
I theorized that there was an odor repelling the bass and I was right. I
tried some Baitmate crawfish and things improved sharply starting on day 1.
I never learned what the odor was and I also learned that scents (positive
or negative) permeate skirt material and stay for an extremely long time.

Otherwise, except to mask negative odors, I don't think that scents do a
whole lot.
