Shoot, just typed a nice long thing out then it got moved and it all got deleted.

To keep it short megastrike and smelly jelly are good.

Megastrike or JJ's Magic or BANG in can.

They all stink.  Some worst than others.  

none is best

I have been using lunker lure sauce.  I love jj's but I hate the mess, or possibility of a mess.  The thing that caught my eye with the lure sauce is that it is in a window chalk or shoe polish type container, which makes it super easy to apply and no mess.  Plus it stinks just like the rest of them and it last for a long time.

Bang in the spray can was sick last time i used it :)

JJs worked really well too

i havent had much luck with the megastrike however

I've just been using the Yum garlic scent, haven't tryed any others though. How does everyone feel about the yum scents?

I like Megastrike only because time and time again it has proven to me to work. On countless occasions I have held on a spot knowing the bass are there and have had short strikes, questioning whether this was bluegills just nipping at it. They would pick up a jig or T-Rigged plastic and drop it. I added Megastrike and bam no more pickup just a gobble. For this reason I am sold.

JJ's Magic for jig trailers. I treat all mine at home, outside.

Put them back into high quality bags like GYCB, NetBaits

and Rage Tail come in. Soft plastics do not need to be treated

immediately before being used. This eliminates the main issue

with JJ's (messy).

For all other soft plastics and hardbaits, MegaStrike is THE BOMB!

MegaStrike is very effective and user friendly. In addition to

the attractant aspect, the Vasoline consistancy allow baits

and lures to slide more freely through weeds and in a fish's

mouth!

I started to put MegaStrike on my Yamamoto and Zoom baits this year. I'm not sure if it has helped, but it can't do no harm either. Helps cover up unwanted odours. I wish *** came out with scent as well. They are awesome IMO.

I have both JJs and megastrike and like them both.  JJs permiates and lasts a long time, usually longer than the bait.  They are completely different products and hard to compare.  Both are great.

I have used the original megastrike and love it. It does not stink and really works. They changed the formula and I have not tried the new formula which they say smells like garlic. I hope the old formula is still available, I love it. Maybe Bobby can let us know. I am willing to try the new formula, but I would rather not change when I find something I like that works.

Earlier this season, I was fishing a spot that I was sure held some bass. After a few casts with no strikes, I applied some Megastrike. Three out of the next four casts produced fish. That was all the convincing I needed.

picked up a small bottle of powerbait bass attractant from wally world this afternoon. we'll see how it goes.

The new Megastrike smells like fish to me.  It's not a very strong scent, but man... the taste REALLY lingers!

Ya, I know what you're thinking, but no, I didn't "try" it.  I had pre-rigged some tubes, including "pre-scenting" them with Megastrike.  When I went to tie one on, I hadn't realized I got some on the line. When I wetted the knot...surprise!

I did that with JJ's under my fingernails.

I prefer JJ's.  I just ordered 4 bottles of clear tonight.

Megastrike is great stuff. I use it often, but when I really need the bites I go with JJ's Magic. I'll let my videos do the talking.
