I saw this unusual use of preparation H and felt on a website and wondered if any of you who are smarter them me ever heard of it. To be honest I never heard of it. The use of a small piece of felt is intriguing but what about that Preparation H????? Wouldn't that mess up something in your own body if you ate the fish that ate the preparation H?????
I might just use the eye dropper to put "Gulp" or something on the felt. What are your thoughts?

Now I've heard everything!!! LOL!
Yes I heard of it at a crappie seminar a few years back- crappie tournament team used it a lot - no mention of a felt pad- applied directly to whatever plastic lure they were using- urged you not to get it on your carpet though
i think i have to pass on having that in my tackle ....but for sure i got a laugh from it ......i can just see someone saying so what are you using ? LOL
I have used some of those scent's bass fishing that were worse than that. If nothing else it could work as a coverup for scent's from your hands. Ship it wouldn't hurt you because if you caught a fish he would be cleaned and in the fridge before that tiny amount could get absorbed.
I think people have tried everything to find the best baits for fishing. I have used all kinds of stuff while crappie and catfishing. Anise oil, rhodium oil, dewees, asafetida, WD40,cod liver oil,vanilla flavor, you name it and the list goes on and on just to name a few. Now they come up with preparation H. Well looks like I will have to give it a try also.:biggrin
Heard about using Preparation H as an attractant several years back while attending a
salmon seminar, just about the time we started using meat rigs on Lk. Michigan for
king salmon. Never had the nerve to try it, but it can't be any worse than some of
the herring strips dipped in oil that are used up here! Tight Lines - Dave
Way too funny for me too. I may use the felt pad though.Quote:

If I want to use scent, I'll stick to crappie nibbles.
Yeah I will stick to the crappie nibbles as well.lol
This is what started this curiosity...here are several sources

I will stick to Bobby Garlands Slab Jam and Procure scents.
I doubt there's enough "shark liver oil" to even be noticeable to a fish. According to the MSDS ... it comprises 0-3% of the ingredient composition. And it does contain "medications" in minute amounts, but the most prevalent contents are Cocoa Butter, Petrolatum, & Witch Hazel.
(see MSDS sheet here : https://secure.mygsonline.com/catMai...ngFileId=59418 )
Like the use (misuse ??) of WD-40, it's likely that having it on your lures doesn't really make a difference in your catch rate ... and the use of either is simply a matter of adding pollutants to our waters. :twocents
I agree with you
Now there's an idea.....take a jar of TUCKS pads with you. :)Quote:

I can remember some times I wish I'd had some with me but not for bait.
It makes the fishes mouth draw up so they stay on the hook better :Rofl
I could say something stupid about using PrepH to catch a fish called a crappie, but I'm not.
after reading all this, I think some of you need to go fish, you got toooo much time on your hands :Rofl
Makes me wonder about how it was used the first time . :dono
Just don't lick your fingers after you apply it or you will have to eat your samich through a straw.

Some folks wear prepH for lipstick. They get it on naturally.
Had ole fishing bud that said his cousin wouldn't go without it. Don't know if he used cream or ointment.
Sounds like this idea is shrinking rapidly.
If they made something that was good for insect bites and stings,sunburn,minor cuts and abrasions,poison ivy,jock itch,athlete's feet,hemorrhoids......and made a good lip balm and fish attractant....that would be handy thing right there to have in the tackle box...
