I enjoyed your video.
It not an attractive. What scents and flavor do is delay the time the fish figures out it's not real.
Scent and flavor give a longer window for setting the hook.
Again. They don't attract fish. It just keeps the fish from spitting it out as fast.

It does to a certain degree. I do not think it does to the degree the makers says it does. I basically use it to take the smell of the banana I am eating off the lure.

I use a bunch of Pro-Cure scents.
I've noticed fish will try to swallow it instead of splitting it out. Crappie is one. They'll keep it in their mouth longer.
Anise scent seems loved by a lot of fish. Main ingredient in Liquorice.

I use scent if the brand of plastic doesn’t use any at all and they smell like plastic!

Oh I do. There hasn't been a trip to the lake in over a decade. I haven't pulled in something.
You gotta get bored and not care as much. So smear a bait. Why not?
I enjoy it, they enjoy it. It's like feeding ducks. But ducks you take home and batter fry.

Lonnie Stanley used to produce a product called Stanley Jiggin' Juice back in the 80's and 90's and I used it religiously back in those days, it seemed to work. Everything is so scented these days I don't know that you wouldn't mess up a lures ability to get a fish to hang on if you added anything to a lure pre scented.

It can’t hurt, I don’t think.
Gas spilled on your hands while fueling and Bug Spray on your hands is bad luck to me.
If you can’t feel a bite with today’s rods, (especially the Trina), line, and tungsten weights, nothing will help.

I've been spraying the stuff at Walmart on my soft plastic and jigs since it was a thing... I stopped when the soft plastic came with sent....never really noticed much difference but, I'm a soft plastics guy...I know what every kind of bite feels like so, I don't have lag time in hook sets...like at all, probably for 35 years
