This 10 minute video shows why you have to tip artificial soft plastic with scent, wax worm or a minnow head. The Crappie and Bluegill seem like they smell and then reject most of the presentations. I will tip mine always with scent or a taste of live bait. To make my scent I mix Anise, Cod Liver Oil, Garlic salt and Gulp. I put this mix in a small bottle and then use an eye dropper to put it on my soft plastic.

This is how to fish cribs. It is a 20 minute video

Not really understanding the purpose of this video other than to shake a jighead with what appears to be with no hook in front of fish like one was dribbling a basketball??? Thinking a slower more natural presentation would benefit the most. Scent, nibbles or whatever I guess if it makes you more confident. I never really use these and don't have a problem hooking up. Of course now my beliefs and style is nothing to do with ice fishing. Maybe it's different up north.

I do not know of any measurements my friend. I am just an old man who likes to fish. I AM NOT a professional. All I know is one or two drops of the mixture shaken not stirred from an eyedropper is enough scent for me.

I've done a lot of fishing for panfish thru the ice and in open water. I very rarely use anything on my plastics for scent or taste. That said, I do understand that cadence and presentation are very important. If you show the fish what they want to see they will bite.
