What is with all the new plastics in coffee? Is it literal like in scent or flavor, or color?

Has anybody put thier plastics in coffee to do the same thing?

Going fishing tomorrow, I'll let a plastic sit in some grounds with a little hot water overnight and try it out tomorrow and post back the results. I hope its in flavor or scent and not made with coffee instead of salt or something like that. ;D

it's just another way to mask the scent of us humans and chemicals.  mann's started it with the scented jelly worms back in the day.

It's an even bet that we'll eventually learn that bass are attracted to the scent of man.

In the meantime, I use caffiene-scented lures in the early morning, before bass are fully awake.

   

Here is the folk lore surrounding the coffee scent.

Supposedly Strike King employees were testing some baits when they threw out some coffee grinds and noticed that the coffee grinds attracted the minnows.

So they did it again and had the same results.

Strike King came out with the OCHO, a coffee scented Senko type worm.

I have some but have never used them. Must do so this year to see how they perform.

Strike King's marketing has a picture of KVD on the package.

So you give them a try; I'll give them a try; and maybe others on this  site will give them a try and we can compare notes. 

Letting your baits sit in coffee grounds will do basically nothing except turn your baits an off color of brown. Try upper hand scents coffee scent (google them). Add a couple drops to your bag and it will soak into the plastic, well salted plastics anyway, the salt leaves open pores in the plastic and will soak up the scent. It will soak into regular plastic over time but not near as good as salted plastics

Strike King has had the coffee scent for a few years now. I first saw it in their coffee tubes. Those tubes catch fish. Whether or not the scent played any part in this i have no idea. I have also caught fish on the coffee scented rage tail space monkey and coffee scented ocho. The baits catch fish, and all i know from this is that coffee scent is not a bass deterrent.

I like the coffee scents.  If the bait companies are going to convince me that I need scents on my baits, I'd really prefer they convince me that a good smelling scent works instead of the nasty smelling scents I use now.  A clumsy guy like me and a scent like JJ's magic is just too dangerous a combination.  I'd much rather my boat,hands and living room smell like coffee.

I've used the Ochos for a while now and have caught some nice bass on them, whacky rigged or even t-rigged. They Catch Fish. I've caught some high 4lb and 5lb bass on them

i have some ochos.  can't say they catch more bass than my other senko baits.  i like the faceted look to them.

Went to a new lake and got skunked on EVERYTHING I used.

1st time I got skunked this year.

I have posted about coffee scented plastics in the past.  Coffee scent might be new to the market but it is not new to fisherman.  Fisherman have been soaking their plastics in coffee for decades.

All I know is a couples years ago during a hot bite on regular tubes, I tried a SK coffee tube for the first time. The bass were swallowing it. I de barbed the hook & tried to be faster on my hook set  to avoid gut hooks. I'm convinced there's something to it.

Is this particular scent strong enough to cover the strong plastisol scent of some plastic swimbaits?

If its water soluable or molecularly correct and not offensive-of course they will eat it.
