Tested new formula

Tested the new Insect repellent formula today, (I had them modify it
just a little, it now has 9% concentrated garlic, and took the
citronella out of it, replaced it with lemon grass oil) it kept the bugs
from bitting from noon till dark,(at which time I left) about 30 min
before sunset, I saw a swarm of Mosquitoes about head high, I walked
into the swarm, and the swarm quickly moved 3 feet away and regrouped,
they wanted no part of me. It is awesome an a insect repellent

I sprayed my lure with it, and caught six spotted bass on the first six
cast, No doubt, it "does not" repel fish :-) I had a great day, although
we had a total blue bird day and high pressure. I ended up with 31
spotted bass,, nothing large, all 2 lbs and under, but a blast on ultra
light tackle. I caught all the bass while using the repellent on my lures

Again I'm not claiming it's better than other fish attractants, but a
fishermen does not have to worry about it getting on his lures or hands,
but it works as an attractant, if you want to use it for that purpose.

(you can't smell the garlic, but the fish and bugs can, it takes 5
cloves of garlic to make the 9% concentrate, in each 7 Oz bottle of
repellent)

They just had their first production run of this new formula, hope to
have it in stores soon

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...

Amazing when you consider how many fish attractants are made with Garlic.

It makes no sense that fish would be attracted to garlic, actually a lot
of things fish do, makes no sense to humans. I can see no reason that
garlic would attract fish,, there are sure no garlic flavored natural
pray that fish feed on. We just know fish will eat things that have
garlic on them. I don't know who was the "fool" that thought it might
work first, but he had the balls to try it, and it worked

It's just so hard to do controlled test on fish in the wild, and we know
captive fish do not respond to the same things wild fish do "all the time"

That's why I had to come up with a "controlled" test for fish in the
wild, that placed everything tested, on an equal bases. Everything the
same, except what was being tested. This involves putting two identical
lures in the same spot, at the same time, with the identical action, in
front of the same fish in the same conditions, offering them a choice,
in this case, a choice of scented or unscented. I even went so far as
changing the locations of the two lures, to make sure that position on
the line made no difference.

This test I have come up with, could test many things, from lure, and
hook colors to hook positions in the lures. You could even test some
lures , like soft plastics , one lure over another. (it could not test a
spinner bait over a soft plastic, because these are fished entirely
different) The only draw back is that if fish are given a choice which
one they would choose, it's not saying they would not hit either one of
the lures at that place and time, if there was no choice

Now when I get the time, I could test different scents on each lure, but
this will only tell me what "my" local fish prefer, and this test must
be done over every possible weather and water conditions, as well as
every time of the day, to come up with strong evidence to prove one is
"better" than another. Really I have no incentive to conduct such a
test, nor the time, as we are not going to be trying to compete with the
scent company's products, only the insect repellent company's products,
that people use while fishing

The testing I've been doing is just to prove "this" insect repellent
does not repel fish,, I would have been happy with an equal catch, even
a very close to equal catch, and this was with the "old" formula, the
new stuff I just went ahead and used it on every lure yesterday, and
caught more fish than I ever have on a Blue Bird day, and I did this in
just 5 hours of fishing. Of course this was not a real test, except that
all four of the other fishermen using a verity of lures and baits caught
ZERO fish, fishing along the bank with me during that 5 hours. There
could be a hundred reasons why they failed to catch any. I think the
biggest was they were all fishing to fast, for the conditions. It was a
slow, drop shot condition day, and none were drop shotting, they were
throwing spinner baits, rooster tails, spots, and Carolina rigs, the
fish were in no mood to chase anything. Today they could be in that mood.

Bet it was an Italian. Or maybe a fisherman that really likes spaghetti.

Don't know, but maybe Charles really stumbled on the answer. That enzyme
they found, and use in Mega Strike (which does really work, I love Mega
Strike, been using it for a couple of years) really does smell like
garlic, and they claim there is no garlic in it. Maybe garlic mimics
that enzyme, is why fish like garlic so much. It's the only thing that
makes any sense, why else would fish like garlic ?

Fish are worried about vampires.

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..


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

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 :-)

I really don't want to give the name here, I don't want to be accused of
spamming, because I helped develop it. You will be reading about it in
Bassmaster, Field and Stream, In-Fisherman, and Bass-in, in the near
future, as well as seeing it on some of your favorite fishing shows. You
will also be seeing it on the shelves with a sticker on it saying it
repels insects and not fish. It is currently only available from Grander
Mt. and that is under the "old" name it had. WE changed the name two
weeks ago. I can say we, because this company hired me, as well as my
name going on the patents. I have no desire to sell any of this from my
web site, or to individual fishermen. A few people on this list agreed
to test it further for me, but no one can "buy" it from me, and the
company wholesales it only. (I will be putting a web page up on my site
in the next few days on it, but for information only, except for
retailers wanting to sell it, can contact me for details of doing that)
I was just letting this group know "first" of what's to come out that
"might" help them catch more fish, while keeping the bugs at bay. I went
overboard spraying it straight to the lures, but it was the only way I
could see if contamination of it on a lure would reduce the catch. This
is an "Insect repellent" first, safe, long lasting, pleasant smelling,
and all natural, that can used by anyone, anywhere.


I really don't want to compete with Mega Strike, as that is an awesome
attractant, that stays on your lures. Just if your out of Mega Strike,
you can use this insect repellent as an attractant, with good results.

It blows other fishermen's minds when they see you and you tell them
your spraying insect repellent on your lures, and then you reel in a
fish. (I love blowing other fishermen's minds with the things I do :-)
