I fish inshore at the coast most of the time despite the fact I live on a freshwater lake. Because of this I tend to have a hybrid fishing tactics when fishing for bass at home. I'll pick up a Skitterwalk, Mirrorlure or just about anything already tied on my rods and throw them for bass. Sometimes it works and others I think the fish are simply laughing at my approach. As the bite here at home has slowed with the Summer heat wave, I have gone back to smaller leaders (8lbs mono) and the traditional rubber worm. What I have found is that putting Pro-cure Shrimp on my worm has increased the bite considerably. Anyone else using scents for bass?

Funny you mentioned this I just ordered a bottle of crawfish scent to try out.

I use scents from time to time. I dont believe they are "magic" enough to draw every fish in the lake to your lure, however they cant hurt. You still have to find the fish and put it in front of them.

LM Bass love Pro Cure in my experience. The mullet scent seems to work best for me.

I use James Valley scents...........for big bucks in close. I used to use Bang craw for bass but it seemed a waste of time and money last ten years. I suspect any scent is better than bug spray and sunscreen which I normally coat my lures with.

I use some perfume when the bite is tough. Not really brand conscious though.

I use it, on a lot of stuff, plastics to crankbaits to spoons, fresh and salt. Works.

Anybody know how long it lasts or stays fresh? I keep mine in the fridge.
