What are yalls thoughts?
I try to use something most of the time. I don't know if it helps or not, but it can't hurt. More of a confidence thing.
As many fish as you catch I don't think you need them. Me, on the other hand, no more than I get to go, I need every advantage I can get. LOL. On the serious side; I do use them from time to time when the fish seem to be less active. When the fish are aggressive to bite they are not needed. Just my humble opinion.
I use the nibbles in the bait pump for crappie when using tube jigs and use the cht/garlic dip for dipping soft plastics in when bass fishing. Seems to help to me.
I use Megastrike original flavor now, used niblets for years with a bait pump.
I reapply once an hour to soft plastics, crappie seem to like it just as well.
i dont use them but as long as they are not taking away from action of the bait cant hurt. the one thing i do do in the winter in cold and especially cold and muddy water is keep a box of night crawlers on hand and break them into 1/4 inch or so peices to give a little smell etc which seems to help at tiems. again it cant hurt as others have said. think its more important in cold and or dirty water but im no expert in them as i dont use them in general other than nightcrawers on the jig at times
I used to use crappie nibblets, but got tired of drying them out before using and them coming off so easily. Now I use the gulp waxies. They work great and stay on the hook way better. Seem to work just as good for me.
I worked with a good friend and we came out with a jig trailer. The colors match the hair jigs we fish and they are scented in 2 different scents. And yes nibblets do also work.
Nibblets...I refuse to fish without them! But it looks like they are getting harder to find...anyone else having trouble?
Was using nibbles, now using the Bobby Garland Slab Jam. I like the jam much better. It dont wash off easy either.
I almost bought those today but just didn't know I wish I did .Quote:

I don't wet a hook without the nibblets. Use pink in dirty water and chartreuse the rest of the time. They make me feel better anyway.
There are days that scents help wihout a doubt, today was one of them. Can usually catch all i want on just plastics but today they would come up and look then swim away. Frustrating to watch on the fishfinder. Added a bit of honey worm from Power Bait and they would commit.
I use spray on scent. I like Yum. It's been good. Just bought some Slab Slobber. It has an oil to it, probably Anise. I'm not having trouble getting fish to take the bait with it on the jig.
Mr. Rickey get with me about your nibblets. I can tell you where to get them and they are pretty cheap
I don't think they do anything at all for Crappie. They do make bream even more of a bother though.
If JR and Andrews and RGG and DA and others who catch crappie regular used scent of any kind.......they work.......for the rest of us it don't matter....it all boils down to WHO is on the business end of that fishing pole.
I put the nibblets in the bags of my plastic baits, sometimes on the hooks. I read a article claiming the perch have a sense of smell like a dog. I know some people who wash there hands with scent killers, I usually have skeeter dope on my hands that may be the ticket.
Skeeter dope, the new crappie scent : )
"gene"
Ranger i would like to see a pic of the hair jig with a scented trailer. I'm not sure if I understand what that looks like, if you don't mind?
When I can get them I tip my jigs with grass shrimp. Fresh one. No better attractant.
Will do Ranger...thanksQuote:
