Smallmouth Hunter Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I like the smell of bass but I don't want to be smelly all day around the house and whatnot cause other people don't like the smell. What do you use to get the slime/smell of bass off your hands? I don't want to have to buy something though, just something at home. I have tried washing with soap and salt and it gets the slime but not the smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snakehead Whisperer Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 How well do those steel scent removing bars work? They work great, but you have to touch every area of your hands with them (no lather.) I don't use them for fish (just wash with soap,) but I do use them if I chop garlic or something like that.

Hyrule Bass Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 just regular hand soap or dish soap, works fine for me. just rub your hands together real good with the soap for a couple minutes and then rinse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neebles Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I will use dish soap, followed by hand sanitizer. Same principal as alcohol I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazz Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 How well do those steel scent removing bars work? My sister gave me one of these about 5 years ago...I don't know if its do to the age, but the thing doesn't work??? Freshwater...just soap really. But a day on the ocean ... I use bleach. Then I wash my hands with vinegar, to remove the bleach, then I just washed my hands with Softsoap. PITA I know, but it works .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishingFLA Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Washing hands with head and shoulders does wonders! I think it takes the fish oil off your hand, like it takes the oil off of hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
