Do you believe fish attractants work?

Smelly Jelly its like paste.....Works great lots of flavors

I'll have to look for this product. I doubt it is cheaper than what it costs to make my own, but I will check it out.

I seem to get more action with my flies by using anis oil,inland trout streams mostly.

Hey! That's cheating. I would never put strawberry jam on my carp flies. I'm too purist to do an evil thing like that.

spray everything with WD-40

That would be a pollutant.
For years many said it was made from fish oils.
This is incorrect.
It is made from petroleum based materials.

I can remember well the day I was converted. I was Bass fishing on Cayuga Lake with two friends. I was getting skunked while the other two were having a great day. the score was 4,5 and me zero. They both said it was the Dr juice a anise based attractant. I still doubted it. I then decided to give it a try. Within a hour or two the score was something like 5,5, and me 12! of course I was culling fish. That converted me and have used many other attractants with success. Some better than others but they do work. In the last few years bait mate shad has worked well for me.

Anyone have any experience with Pautzke Liquid Krill?  I watched a video of a guide trolling for spring browns that was rubbing it on there spoons on youtube.  Anyone?

Is "pro-cure" still available.  Years ago that was our go to scent lure.....jk

I believe they work as ling as you make your own.  When I go fishing for cats I take shrimp and saturate them in garlic salt. That works great. If I go fishing for carp I have pineapple tigers from cc more that is saturated with pineapple scent. I take oats mix in creamed corn and then put some pineapple juice in that mixture.

I think fish attractants. Do more to cover up smells on a lure. More than they attract fish.
