fishsniffer Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 does anyone take measures to prevent human scent on lures or isnt this a problem?i guess im relating this to say scent coverage in deer hunting.do you think it affects the bite?
crewsout Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 not really human sent but sunlotion can affect it.
Priority1 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I think the real thing and some scents can make a difference if the fish are somewhat neutral. The very aggressive fish will just swim in and slam anything. I have used everything from Anise oil to WD40. Does it help? I know one thing, it doesn't hurt. I have stopped using the WD40 because of the environment. I wouldn't rush out and buy some of the high dollar snake oil. You can make your own. Anise Oil and Mineral Oil in a spray bottle. Garlic is another cover scent.
RONDAYVOO Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 What kind of ratio due you use to make your scent ?
Nailer Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I don't know if it makes any difference but, I always take extra care to not touch the lure any more than I have to (Mostly touch the sides when putting on). I also try not to get gas on the way to fishing. When un hooking fish I like to use the Needle Nose pliers.
joelsanders Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 does any one use "FOOL A FISH " it is a UV. enhancer i don't think it has any scent though
Priority1 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 What kind of ratio due you use to make your scent ?Get a bottle small bottle of anise oil and a bottle of mineral oil from one of the Mart stores. Dump it all in a spray bottle and shake. It will last for a couple of years.
