Recipe For Fishing Scents 2024


fishing user avatarmc6524 reply : 

I'm interested if anyone has a recipe for bass fishing scent. Any help would be appreciated.


fishing user avatarBassn Blvd reply : 

Megastrike? I hear they have a pretty good scent :Idontknow: .


fishing user avatarmc6524 reply : 

I appreciate the reply, but I was looking for a recipe o make my own fish scent at home...


fishing user avatarWDinarte reply : 

I use garlic, but didn't work that goo.


fishing user avatarretiredbosn reply : 

I'll sometimes pick up a bottle of anise and pour it in a bag of unscented plastics. Allot of plastics already come prescented, I don't put anything on those as I don't know what it'll do to the plastic.


fishing user avatarMike L reply : 

An old family recipe, Anise and baby oil...25% / 75%

Try it, I think you'll be surprised.

Mike


fishing user avatarmc6524 reply : 

Thanks Mike L.


fishing user avatarRyneB reply : 

The local catfishing guys chop of chicken breasts and marinate them in Anis and they catch fish. Im assuming it would work for plastics as well.


fishing user avatarBassn Blvd reply : 

Haha, ok. I'll be serious.

I posted this several years ago. Soak your worms/plastics in a pot of black coffee. Another one is soak them in a bag of Italian salad dressing.

A mixture of OFF insect repellant with 30% DEET, Coppertone 50 SPF sunscreen lotion, WD-40, 87 octane gasoline, and marine grease.

I have used all of those individually, a combo should be great.

Love it!! But u forgot two cycle oil.


fishing user avatarWayne P. reply : 

I would have if my motor wasn't a 4-cycle. I gave away all the 2-cycle oil I had when it got that motor.

I thought about that after I made the post.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

I'm sold on MegaStrike, but here is a mixture Mattlures posted for swimbaits:

Catch and scale a bluegill retaining as much slime as possible.

Mix this goo into Vaseline, just enough so the scales will stick to

your lure or bait.

fishing user avatarClint C. reply : 

Worm extract!

Actually, I seem to catch more bass after I put on sunscreen. I don't wipe off my hands so I know some of the sunscreen is getting on the bait.


fishing user avatarBobby Uhrig reply : 

Save yourself a headache -Its not that easy- most likely you are going to create something that could do more harm than good. Night crawlers minced up and start to decay is a fish repellant. You have to create a formula that is accepted by -olfactory chemosensory and gustation-- reception -- retention-- and a whole slew of other sensory criteria- OFF by one and it dosent work.


fishing user avatarBobby Uhrig reply : 

HMMMM does anyone really know what worm extract is-- HMMM theres the question of the day


fishing user avatarBassn Blvd reply : 

^ I do, I do. Worm extract is extract from a worm. :eyebrows:


fishing user avatarretiredbosn reply : 

Its worm poop


fishing user avatarLgMouthGambler reply : 

Im not all about "milking" the worm, lol. I have made a mixture of Spike It Chart. dye and Yum Garlic spray, seems to work real good. Just make sure you keep it in the Spike jar and use a syringe to extract it and spray it in the bag of bait.


fishing user avatarClint C. reply : 

The Bass says YUM! http://wormtec.com.a...rm_Extract.html - Only place I could find to buy it.

According to the book Knowing Bass that's a bass's favorite scent. Then garlic is 2nd 3rd place.


fishing user avatarJ Francho reply : 

I find it hard to believe that composted worms is a bass's favorite. I mean it's basically rotted worm poop.


fishing user avatarClint C. reply : 

I was pretty surprised when I read it. Unless I'm understanding the chart incorrectly which is very possible lol.

Clint, so where is this study from?

Berkley fish research databank.


fishing user avatarLoop_Dad reply : 

I'm interested to know how they performed this test and to know how scientific this is. I'm not sure what Feeding Response Magnitude (%) means and how it was calculated...

On the chart, the Anise's bar's height appears to be either 1% or 2% based on the vertical scale. Let's say it is 2%. Then they had to try at least 50 times and bass ate 1 time. That's 2%. In order to compare 6 flavors, they have to do the same thing for all six. That's 50 x 6 = 300 tests. And if you repeat the same test to the same fish, the result would not be so accurate. They have to have lots of fish in similar condition to have good tests.

Or I am totally not getting the meaning of the chart...

WD-40 works well on plastics.
