i read about this a while back, cant remember where. anyways the gist of it was to soak your lures in menhadden oil overnight, then put them in a ziplock bag. its supposed to help get you more bites since the lure now 'smells' like food. My only problems with thisare 1)menhadden oil is messy and doesnt smell all that good. and 2) at 6-8 knots or faster, is a fish really going to have time to 'smell' a bait before hitting it?

any thoughts on this? im considering giving it a shot with some cheapy jet heads i get at the bx on eglin.. one other thought-could the oil damage the lure over time?
