Super User Spankey Posted March 26, 2021 Super User Share Posted March 26, 2021 I stopped at the shop yesterday to pick up a few Lucky Craft Lures that came in and order up some Zman baits in a color he does not stock. As I was leaving this Stinky Balls display caught my eye. These stinky balls are like an oversized salmon egg in an oversized salmon egg jar. Maybe 4x the size of a salmon egg. 3X. Did not physically touch one. I didn’t ask anything because I didn’t want to ask or say anything stupid. But it appears that they are used with a Trig or Carolina rig. When rigging with your ewg hook you rig one of these balls after you nose hook and before you anchor the hook back into the worm body. It must disperse and breakdown scent while working your bait. I thing for bass it was earthworm scent. Ball was a translucent brown in color. I believe there was a formula for catfish and walleye. A few type for sure. The name just caught my eye. I’m not dissing the product by any means. May be the next best thing since sliced bread. Just struck me odd to see these. I could be totally wrong as to how you use them. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t get out much been told at time I live under a rock and never heard any talk about these. They are steep in price, about $12.50 a jar. This might be old news, but certainly a first for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swhit140 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I think the situation starts with sweaty balls, then it turns to stinky balls. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galyonj Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 The warning kind of begs the question, though. If they're in a cool, dark place...how doth the balls get stinky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Spankey Posted March 26, 2021 Author Super User Share Posted March 26, 2021 Guys I would not BS y’all. I should have taken a pic of the jar. I do not believe it is a local thing to me either. Someone will elaborate. Some on here has and uses these Stinky Balls. Again I kid you not about this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewhospeaksmuchbull Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 To be fair to the balls, it's not real them that stinks, but the scrotum. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that this train has run off the rails, built a new set of rails for its own hilarious purposes, and is steaming towards the nearest Dude Wipes display. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Barnes Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Fish B Gone wipes mixed with dude wipes. That's the cure! Also for the people from Louisiana they come in swamp nuts scent! But no ive not heard of the fish attracting version. Interesting idea on a t rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s ever name is on them I did see that they were somewhat local to me. Was surprised to some degree. But than Philly area is home to all kinds of carp dough baits. So I guess I’m not all that surprised. Someone hoping to strike it big during Covid Crisis. God bless them, good luck to them. Like you I saw a pic of how they had some rigged. My thought was right of how they are using them on a Carolina, Trig and shaky head. I saw also that they caution their use in real hot temperatures because they must break down and stink up everything you got. Warm weather pretty much goes along with fishing. Sort of setting theirselves up to be in and out of business real quick. Here today gone tomorrow(June). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing it’s more storage temps than simple use. If they’re in a tackle box in the shade, they’re likely fine. But left out in the sun, probably not lol. Who knows? Rig one on a EWG hook like you described on a Texas rig and maybe a bass comes up to investigate. Rather than “meh” and swimming off he detects that scent wafting off the Stinky Ball and hits it. Maybe. Maybe the bass noses the bait and thinks OMG that stinks and vacated the area. I’d be willing to try a pack and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
