Chemdawg , I got your bait and my concerns about application were answered . You are correct I pulled a pinch and rolled it in a ball and put it on the hook , a little Smelly but I did it. And to my Surprise the smell washed off well in the lake except for a little garlic smell I later washed my hands with a Jimmy Houston "Stainless " soap bar I got at bass pro shops and no smell was left. But I sure was hesitant to touch it bare handed. Thanks , No longer Skeeereed of the Smell . OLHIPI p.s. The wind was so bad we gave up on the fishing and will retry the bait as soon as this Rainy Weather subsides. Once again Thanks.

you would be surprised how often i get that from people. we keep rags in the boat and just wipe our hands off it does not stink just has a strong smell. I had to cancel all my trips this week do do weather. but we have been killing them on cut haring
