Fish Attractant

[Lunkaz]

I was thinking about ordering some Smelly Jelly Pro Guide shad scent fish attractant for ice fishing walleyes on Lake of the Woods. Has anyone tried this stuff, and what do you think. Please give any other comments on other fish attractant products.

Thought I might slop this on a chubby darter to really get 'em hot and bothered.

I was having a bad day a few years ago with only lookers coming in so added some Dr Juice to my minnow, got a few to hit right away!

Have not tried it since though.

From what I have larned about scents are the catch more fishermen than fish...

I used to use scents on my lake trout lures. Never noticed a pickup in the number of hits, and haven't noticed a decline since I quit using them. So, it's nonscents for me.

WD40

25 years ago when it was fish oil based yes now it's petrolium based and not a good thing to put in the water....

This is from WD-40's web site. It has always been a petroleum product that was and is bad for the water.

"In 1953, a fledgling company called Rocket Chemical Company and its staff of three set out to create a line of rust-prevention solvents and degreasers for use in the aerospace industry, in a small lab in San Diego, California.

It took them 40 attempts to get the water displacing formula worked out. But they must have been really good, because the original secret formula for WD-40®—which stands for Water Displacement perfected on the 40th try—is still in use today."

i have some stuff called top secrete, serious, thats wat its called. its a poweder that jells wen it gets wet an is a enzyme based fish attractant that dose produce results. ive fished cats at selkirk Man. an crushed them with the bloody flavor flavor, I have magott flavor, worm flavor, blue cheese flavor, an said bloody flavor. The powders jell to, bloody is red, bluecheese is of course blue, magott is white worm is an off red an i have a yellow one that i cant remeber, some kind baitfish formula. Ive used them on lake of the woods with success, but times with a high pressure not much can make them open up an say ahhhh! but ive also so put to much on an it has scared fish away, to much nose candy, can be very over powering. i have used bloody flavor one time wen it made a very noticable difference, were catching nothing, an i mean nothing, we had sniffers but nothing would take, so i tried it an the bobbers started going down.
