I'm interested if anyone has a recipe for bass fishing scent. Any help would be appreciated.
Megastrike? I hear they have a pretty good scent .
I appreciate the reply, but I was looking for a recipe o make my own fish scent at home...
I use garlic, but didn't work that goo.
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.
An old family recipe, Anise and baby oil...25% / 75%
Try it, I think you'll be surprised.

Thanks Mike L.
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.
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.

Funny, After reading this, I feel like heading to Starbucks and Olive Garden

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
HMMMM does anyone really know what worm extract is-- HMMM theres the question of the day
^ I do, I do. Worm extract is extract from a worm.
Its worm poop
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.
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.
I find it hard to believe that composted worms is a bass's favorite. I mean it's basically rotted worm poop.
I was pretty surprised when I read it. Unless I'm understanding the chart incorrectly which is very possible lol.

Berkley fish research databank.
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.
