Who uses it? What is your opinion? Favorite flavor? Any other good scents?

I do sometimes but have not noticed a significant difference.mullet or shrimp are the two I use most
wouldn't leave home without it... inshore or menhaden work good for me.

Best thing since sliced bread... When the bite is slow a little pro cure always seems to perk up the fish. I typically use the shrimp flavor. Be sure to look into the larger "guide" size bottle. For the price that's the best deal.

Use it, love it. I match the scent with what you are using, or use a blend like Inshore.

I use it when I get a chance to fish inshore, and sometimes in freshwater. I think the crawfish and nightcrawler scents help with worms and jigs for bass. I use shrimp and tried the blue crab at BayRiver Last weekend it does make quite a difference, even on crankbaits.

Used for the first time a couple weeks ago in Sneeds Ferry and make a big difference. Used shrimp flavor, caught lots of small flounder.
Like the menhaden flavor since its thicker and hangs on the lure longer.

Used to swear by the stuff. Then stopped using it for a while and didn't notice a difference in catches. Now when I apply it, only thing that changes is I get more bites from Pinfish.

Some swear by the stuff and say they catch more because of it. I say that's so because they have an increased confidence in their bait due to the scent. Confidence is king...

That was deep Trigger. My wife is a licensed professional counselor, if any of you boys need help with your confidence make an appoinment and she can help you work them lures better. :D

I'm a firm believer in confidence and staying focused. Not sure if scent improves your chances, but I figure it won't hurt.

For those of you that use it, do you spray it on everything (Gulp included)? and just one squirt? Each cast or just every so often? I am sure the bottle tells you something (like, spray liberally and often).
It isn't a spray, it's a gel. Just dab it on, a little goes a long way. 20-30 casts per application at least...

I have more confidence over scented gulp baits as opposed to non-scented. Seems to catch more also.

I feel as if days when the fish are short striking or not really aggressive it helps.

I think scent helps trigger a reaction strike. Thinking you "see" pizza might make you curious but smelling it makes ya HUNGRY! A little goes a long way. I tossed Rat L Traps most of the day at the bay river meet and reapplied only a couple of times and they were still "greasy" when I got home. The stuff holds on! I rub it on and run my fingers up the braided line to "wipe em off" LOL.. I have a bait towel that I can probably cut into strips and fish with now from the hand wiping.. *Phew!

I was told not to mix procure and gulp baits - think I did by accident and everything in the bag seemed to "melt"- luckily only 3 or so- is that what happened?
I don't add procure in the bag. Just a rub on the jighead with gulp. My used gulp goes in a peanut butter jar I squeeze the juice from my empty bags into, mixed with a bit of water keeps it soft and fresh. I have had poorly sealed bags dry up and add them to my jar and shake it up. In a few minutes it was like new. I probably should switch to the GULP alive jars vs the bags but just haven't.

The gulp jars leak! I hate them ruined so much tackle from throwing them into my tackles bucket and having them leak everywhere and rust everything.

yeah the gulp juice is some pretty nasty stuff, in june my cuz threw in a lead jig head and all in the alive bucket with all the juice...at the bay river meet n greet we pulled it out and the hook was almost rusted through, and the lead was disolving away..always store the gulp by itself..as for pro cure, i just started using the "inshore" this last trip..I was curious how much it would work..so i threw some with and some without and didnt really notice a difference..but i always came back to the gulp...it works for sure! I dont think Procure however runs the fish away...so if you got it you might as well use it!
