Hoe to use it ?

So i got my scents in yesterday. I ordered two packages so I'm set. I was wondering how you fellow anglers use it? Do you put some in a container and dip your grubs/tubes? Do you apply it directly on to the bait? Do you let sit on the bait for a while? I'm new to crappie fishing so I'm trying everything I can to master those nice tasting fish. i appreciate your insight in advance...

Put a drop or two on your jig or if you use tube jigs you can squirt some up inside. I do not dip...I use it right out of the quirt bottle that it comes in.

Essentially I use it four different ways.

1) I'll put just a dab on the jig head (squeeze the bottle, and grab the hook of the jig, then poke the jig head into the little bubble of scent that comes out the bottle).

2) On any lure or jig, even with attached minnow, I'll smear jig scent all over everything with my finger. This can be a little messy.

3) More often though, so I don't get all stinky, I'll put a little in a bottle cap, and stick the jig in it. This works well, and applies the most scent.

4) And if I'm using tube jigs, I'll squirt a little of the scent up inside the tube.

BTW, I'm working on a version of the scent that will be similar to a small gummy bear. Easier to just stick on the hook. But the liquid scent will always dissipate in the water better than anything solid to attract more fish, IMHO.

Will these Gummy bears be OK to nibble on if & when I get hungry while fishing, will the different colors have different taste??? Man I love Gummy bears, one of my granddaughters turned me back on to them. And yes we have caught green carp(baxx to some) on them while fishing small pond.

How 'bout a cap that would make it easier to get it up inside a tube jig, like the one I had or the one on the bottle of glue?

Just got my hat & scents last week so haven't had a chance to try them yet. Hope to give them the ultimate test soon, in this muddy water we have here now.:D

Received my scent today. A cap like that would be nice for tubes. Guess I can use the hypo syringe for that. :rolleyes:

I squirted some scent in a bottle of nibblets and shook it up to spread the scent. Now when i put on a nibblet it already has the scent on it.

Hope to just fill up the tube, but not sure how long it will keep in there.....

Nice. Great idea. You know, the thing is, your idea will hold the scent a longer time than otherwise. Everyone seems to want to hold the scent forever, but it does need to release in the water. If it stayed on the lure forever, it would not spread in the water. This idea would hold it longer, and release it over time. All while holding more scent. Very nice.

You have to try it and report back. Great stuff.

Slab I was wondering if since you thicken it up some if it would work in a bait pump so U can better get it in hollow headed jigs. Sure its not going to be as thick as crappie nibbles but thats probably better cause U need it to dispurse in water to attract the crappies. Do U still have any of the older style crappie hats but with the mesh on top?

Try it in the Bait Pump and report back. The new flip tip tops I use squirt right into the back of tube jigs well in my opinion. But go ahead and try it in the bait pump. It is concentrated scent, so a little goes a long way.

And if you want a mesh cap, let me know what color and I'll try to get you one. Should not be a problem.

I keep mine in a worm air blower. I have a few jigs especially tied with a 3cm hollow tube from a "Q-Tip." Try putting a drop or two into that tiny tube. Dissipates slow in the water and lasts a long time. Thank you Ed.

Has anyone tried a small piece of cotton push up into the tube jigs to hold the scent? Just thinking out loud.

Dayum! you guys have the tricks!
The Q-tip tube is great! I will defiantly be trying that!
Hint Hint, Mr slab! when you going to have our jig heads ready to sell with built in scent tubes?

Tipping the jigs with a sauce inpregnated cotton ball is also very good idea! Heck the cotton from the Q-tip heads would probly be just perfect.

A jig head with a tube dispersant for long term scent, with a saturated cotton ball tip for immediate water saturation.. interseting, but complex and...... out thinking the fish.

I LIKE IT! Going to use it!
