Do these work well for bass, and which ones are best?

    Surely somebody has used them. I was thinking about getting the one that smells like garlic.

    I have tried them with Salmon on the Great Lakes with no success. Not saying they did not work, just no better than the lure with no scent.

    I never believed in scents until recently. A friend and I just got back from Lake Fork and he flat ass schooled me. The only thing we did different, was that he was spraying his lizard with Bang garlic scent.
    I will start using Bang.

    Guess it depends on circumstances. I know I'd hook Chinook after Chinook using smelly jelly when others trying to copy me wouldn't even get a bite even though they were using the same corky and yarn.

    I think bad scents are worse then no scents. Let me explain. Bass by nature are rather curious, and usually don't just attack a lure. If they suck it in there, and go "ugh, this taste like gasoline" and spit it out before you can set the hook, that is a bad scent. We humans have a lot of bad scents on our hands will fishing. Whether its filling up the gas tank before we hit the lake, or taking a puff from the tobacco pipe.

    So I think keeping your hands clean during fishing is an important step in getting fish into the boat.

    I have used scent attractors, and never noticed a difference in catch rate. I am a plastic bait guy depending on what I am fishing for, most of those baits have some sort of scent in them to begin with.

    WD-40 is an excellent attractant.It's fish oil based.

    I have caught my limit using scent and without it. I personally do not think it matters. Just another gadget IMHO.
