Fishing scents for plenty of fish
There are a ton of spray on fishing scents out there and most of them I haven’t tested because there are just to many. There are scents that smell like crawfish, the old standby anise and a ton of others that smell like something that lives in the water that fish eat.
There are fishing scents formulated exclusively for bass, perch, walleyes, crappies, bluegills, northerns, catfish and other types of fish. Within those categories are a ton of different manufacturers saying their spray on is the best.
This was a pretty easy test for me as when I tested these types of scents there weren’t that many around. Berkley fishing made a few back then, the anise stuff was around WD 40 and Dr. Juice. Thankfully I had tested the anise scented liquids over the years and the same with the WD 40.
Catching plenty of fish isn’t to hard when you are using a spray on scent for the species of fish you are trying to catch. I’ve done it frequently with Dr. Juice Northern.
First we’ll describe the walleye tests and then the northern tests. These tests were done with one of my fishing buddies, ny wife who was a total novice and my dad. My dad and I were considered the local experts on some of the southwest Minnesota lakes and people would actually send strangers to our house and they would ask us where the fish were biting and on what. A couple of the bait shops in the area would even call us to let us know when the fish turned on and were biting good.
Being better at catching fish than my wife or my buddy I would usually be the one using the scents first. After that they would try the scents and I would be scentless. Lol, my dad was an unwitting victim in the walleye and northern tests.
