What brands of fish attractant do you use on your soft plastics, if any? How do you apply them to the lure?

MegaStrike.

This attractant has the consistancy of Vasoline and comes in a handy tube. MegaStrike is very user friendly. You will only need to apply it once on an outing.

I have several brands in my boat, but the bass seem to prefer the Kick'n Bass in Garlic flavor. I just hold the bait over the side of the boat and put a few drops on and then drop it in the water. That stuff is hard to get off boat parts.

I don't use any scent for bass fishing.

Although whiskered fish like carp, suckers & bullheads have a keen sense of smell, bass are basically sight-feeders.

I don't think of these products as "attractants".

I like the slime coat MegaStrike imparts and

think fish might hold on a little longer

if a soft plastic has a pleasant taste, but maybe not! :

I'm sure you're correct.

Today's angler has every advantage on his side, so in sympathy for bass I gift them that 2/5 second :  ;D

Megastrike on the swimbaits and now JJ's Magic on the soft plastics.

Both great products IMO.

Nope, not a scent user here, if the bait comes cooked or with it ----> fine, if it doesn 't ----> fine too.

I think some anglers use attractants just to keep the bait from smelling like whatever might be on their hands, gasoline, grease, oil, cologne etc.  

I use Smelly Jelly some times.  Just put a little on and you are good to go.    The stuff smells really bad, but works for me.

Cod liver oil, garlic powder, and salt...

add pure petrolium jelly to stick to hard baits...

(or add coffee instead of garlic powder ;D)

I am not a big believer in scents either, but I do put Mega Strike on just about everything.  I feel that it acts as a lubricant and helps baits come through vegetation.
