Fishing Tip # 967 Scent Delivery System

Fishing Tip #967[/B] Scent Delivery System[/B][/B]Soaking soft plastic baits in Menhaden oil or GULP! Juice definitely helps. My scent of choice in most cases is SMELLY JELLY and my favorite scent is Shedder Crab. All fish will eat a shedder crab where fish like Drum and Sheepshead aren?t too fond of Menhaden oil.[/B][/B]SMELLY JELLY sticks to soft and hard plastics better than any other scent but it still washes off. Years ago, I noticed that well chewed plastic worms held scent better than new ones, likely because nicks and scratches soak up scent and release it more slowly than slick surfaces. Flies soaked in scent release the scent over a longer period than soft plastics, plugs and spoons.[/B][/B]I don?t know why it took me so long to come up with a ?SCENT DELIVERY SYSTEM.?[/I][/B] [/I][/B] [/I][/B]Here is a simple scent delivery system for soft plastic baits. Wrap your hook with cotton wine. Cotton soaks up and holds scent better than synthetic fibers. [/B]The lure in the photo below is a Mann?s Hard Head SwimShad, my favorite soft plastic lure.[/B]
