You'll Never Think About Scent the Same (Time-lapse Underwater Footage)

I love the shorter videos that get to the point. Great job

Steve comes up with channel content the same way most of us comes up with dinner ideas 🤣 Bro makes a weekly content menu with sides... Great video Steve!

I been saying this for years. I find scents not as an attractant, but more of a bite stimulant. I been using the same scent going on 3 years and learned that the fish bite it much more aggressively and I get better hook ups by them inhaling the bait deeper.

We have a lot of anglers in our Agency and this video was on a phone in the break room. With Agents from Arizona, Nevada, and California in the room we took a poll. All of us use some type of attractant on our soft baits- worms, frogs, and jig trailers to be precise. Most of us simply use a solo cup or similar, scoop up a little local water and spray some attractant into the cup. I was taught this as a kid when they first hit the market. We called it dippin & flippin and would troll the shore in one direction then come all the way back to where we started and run the same line with a different bait now that the whole shoreline had been peppered with attractant. Most of the big-fish stories came from the 2nd pass. Good luck and tight lines :)

Steve, you are exceptional in actually doing the work to learn more about bass and bass fishing techniques, instead of just throwing out opinions. And you do it in a humble manner, no harshness- we fish for fun, I don’t get the anger and sniping that is so common in videos and comments.

You are killing it Steve. Excellent videos

Excelentes tus videos, muy ilustrativos y bien definidos los puntos a mostrar....Felicidades!!

I don't know how you come out with so many great videos so quickly, but I'm all for it!

I've read and heard that scent helps masks human odors. I rub PRO -CURE on soft plastics. Does it help? I have no idea. I met an old timer a few years back. He prepped his soft plastics by putting them in a ziplock sandwich bag, added a little olive oil, garlic cloves, and a few drops of hot sauce. He swore by it, I haven't tried it. Once again, great content, Steve.

I am not even a spin cast guy I fly fish guy and the amount of wealth I learn from your videos is priceless!

For me scent seems to help bass not spit the lure as fast as it tastes like something other than plastic. However, I’m not religiously soaking my lures. When the bass are in a feeding mood they will hammer everything. I agree with not having sunscreen all over your hands then getting it all over your lures.

I make my own craw scent, I took a buddy fishing and I out caught him 2 to 1. Next trip, I gave him the scent and he out fished me from the back of the boat 3 to 1 Imo- scent works

great video thanks

Thanks Steve, the videos are great! Love your mantra- encourage someone❤

I fish for smallmouth on the susquehanna in pa...use tubes with cotton stuffed in it with scent(crawfish) and it makes a big difference for me especially when the water is stained.

Awesome video 👍👍

I’m a believer, always have been. Especially like Bang Combo for flipping and punching, helps my bait slip through cover.

I really enjoy your content, and appreciate that you try to apply a scientific methodology to your tests. My opinion on this one: the two lures were too close together. Needs to be 2 cameras with one lure at each camera. Even if the lures are only on opposite sides of the dock, there should be enough space between them to see if more fish congregate around one vs the other.

First, Steve, you do a great job on these videos. Regarding scent, it is my experience that fish hold the bait longer and often deeper with scent. I have been using Pro Cure, Bait Fuel and others for years. Not sure any one is better than the other but I believe it improves hookups. I also believe in Max Scent. I would love to see a test between Senkos, Dingers, and Berkeley Generals to see how long a fish will hold each before spitting it out...?...

In a seminar, Jimmy Houston asked the audience how many put sent on their baits. He then said those of you who didn't raise your hands are liars. When you touch a bait you put your sent on it. Sent are more to mask our foreign sent than as an attractant. Thanks for all your great content.
