Scents on lures

This is a spin off of my other topic of using a O ring with a senko. Anyways, a few months ago, I had an idea about what could attract fish besides buying those sprays or lotions or whatever. I know some catfishermen make their own bollys and using garlic and coffee grounds. So I though, I would test it out. I took two new senko with a wacky worm hook and put them in a bag with a pinch or two of garlic powder and a little pinch of paprika powder. Figured, why not. I also have a small bag with garlic powder and a few drops of peppermint extract. As I heard bass like peppermint so, we'll see?

I do make my own ejuice so I have many many of flavors that I could drop a drop or two on a lure. I mean, we all get to that point where we start using weird things, eh?

Has anyone ever tried this?
