This is a topic that I haven't heard anyone talk about yet. Do they work? Do you use them? Why?

[THE_ROE_SLINGER]

When I'am curing my roe sometimes if im feeling lucky ill put some on before. I find it works for trout also. I drench my power eggs in it when I'am fishing at buntzen.

[Fish Assassin]

Short answer is yes, they do work.

[Trout Slayer]

If my baits arent scented I don't have confidence. Plain and simple they do make a difference in the right conditions.

I use scent only after using my baits scent-free.....its a mess thing...I'd rather not git that stinky stuff on my hands clothes etc....I use Dr Juice....worked ok in Onterrible for steel when the water colors up.....)

Yes scents work I tested a number of them years ago. I use to use them all the time but stopped about 10 years ago, it's a progressive thing. WD40 works as good as any on the open market; if you want something that works better than that, try anchovy oil. Another trick, scent your your leader not your lure or fly, this way your fly doesn't end up looking like a gooey blob and your lures don't discolor due to a chemical reaction.

Birdman, if your going to put anise oil on roe bags why not just use jensen eggs?

[Big Steel]

Well a fair amount of the time I will just use wool and dip the wool in the aniseed oil!!!  If that doesn't work then I put on the jensen egg!

Hey all,

Thanks for the imput. I tried it out last Sunday with no sucess...not much happening where I was, but it was great to get out and explore some more of the river. WD40??? is that a joke or does it actually work?

Merry Christmas to all and best of luck on those Steelies!!

People may believe WD40 is a scent, however they are mistakably wrong. WD40 scrubs off the human odours or w/e odours happen to be on the bait. Once the bait hit's the water the water rinses off the bait and the WD40 leaving it odourless. Have a look if you choose to put WD40 on your bait. The minute it touches the water it is all washed away

[Fish Assassin]

Don't think that it's quite correct. WD40 I believe is oil based. Some of it will be washed off once in contact with the water as with any scent but not all. I've caught sturgeons on it.

again....thats not quite correct....WD40 is a cleaner not a lubricant....and not oil based...its used mainly as a penetrating agent to loosen rust and debris from various metals...)

mojo just tryin' ta help
