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...

I have been fishing and boats pass me on the other side of the slough and
you would think they were having an Italian feast!
Im glad the insect repelant test was exposed....Ive always heard that you
never get any of the "OFF" on the lures or youll never catch any fish..

Your right about "DEET", this repellent has no DEET in it. Have you ever
tasted deet ? that is the nastiest stuff in the world, no wounder it keeps
insects from bitting so well. I would bet it would keep a bear from eating
you, he might still kill you, but he wouldn't eat you :-)


What is the name of this repellent? Does it have "DEET" in the formula?
ive always heard that was the active ingredient.

I really don't want to give the name here, I don't want to be accused of
spamming, because I helped develop it.

Ok..whatever...OFF does well for me regardless of the taste!

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?

Could have been Steve... but as I remember now, this morning... I believe it
was from the guy out in Vegas that was with Mega-Strike.

Damn... I loved that stuff. (secret ingredient of the MTC 2006, BTW)

Yeah, I remember those guys. To listen to them, unless you were using
Mega-Strike, you were never going to catch a fish, ever again! :-)

I love Mega Strike as well, it is the only scent I have used for the
last couple of years, I'm a FIRM believer in it,, but ,,,,,,,,,,,,

Put some on your finger and smell it,, they swear it has no garlic in
it,, well,,, they have sure imitated that garlic smell well :-)

I have a tube of it here on my desk right now

I would bet donuts to dollars, that's Garlic in Mega Strike, or some
chemical that smells just like it.

If I was selling Mega Strike, I sure would not want anyone to know you
could make your own from Vaseline, and garlic powder

Not a scent... but rather an enzyme. Say what you will... but whenever I
think I need something to help my fishing, it'll be Mega-Strike. That being
said, I've never had any reason to use anything... especially on Powerworms.
