You guys can conduct a simple test of your own.     Fist off, it has been said that a bass has a nose better than a dog.

I can spray bang, garlic scented on my bait and make a long cast.    Yes I do see a slick on the water, and when I have completed that cast,  I can still smell garlic on my bait.   Many casts, and I feel the slickness and still has the smell.   So it appears to work from a humans view.

So it don't all wash off and if I can smell it.    Can the bass detect it also?

Just fish with scent for one week and another wthout, and you'll find out.

My best attractant is roasting garlic, ginger, and onion in coconut milk with thai red curry paste.  

Really piqued the curiosity of some healthy females for me!
