I use Kick'n Bass but I also have some of the old Riverside Craw that I hoarded and still use it occasionally too.

Walmart Liquid Anise or Banana in the spice section or the Garlic Flavored Pam. Cheap and works. Put the Anise in with Vaseline if you want Smelly Jelly!

Mix half garlic oil with half fish sauce and put in empty spray bottle. I put a clove or two of garlic in the garlic oil bottle first.

You can buy concentrated anise oil at the health food store. I mix it 1 oz to 16 oz mineral oil and put it in my jig body packages. Works on bass AND crappie.

Here is a story about why I use Minnow and Night Crawler Scent. A blinder will work just fine but it is very time consuming.
I moved to Texas 30 years ago. My first fishing trip was on Lake Brady where I met a gentleman that was 80 years young. Coming from Tennessee and Kentucky I thought I was a great hard bait and spinner bait fisherman. Mr. Martin begged to differ.
Mr. Martin kept 2 jigs, 1- top water and 1-spinner bait in a minnow bucket each night with 2 doz. minnows. We put the bucket in the boat each morning and as the bites slowed down for him he would tie a fresh one on and start catching again. This beat anything I had ever seen before. He also kept his lizard and blue flake worm in a night crawler box with the live worms. He proceeded to out fish me with those baits during the heat of the day.
Well it is not feasible to keep live bait in the boat so the next best thing is to develop a poured skirt and trailer with minnow and night crawler scent poured into the plastic.
Now that I have got that taken care of, I have a company that produces my living rubber tabs in Powdered Minnow scent for my skirts.
I put the Living Rubber skirts on my Tweaked Hank Parker Spinner Baits, Stormy Weather Spinner baits and Baby Doll Jigs. I use the minnow scent on all my top waters and crank baits with my homemade scent sticks. My skirts are saturated with the Pure 100% Minnow Oil before they go on the baits.
The Minnow and Night Crawler sent is a must have product and I finally have a Biochemist that makes it for me.
We have been testing it in Mexico for 25 years where we catch 100 Bass per day everyday. Without the scent on the baits we are throwing our catch ratio drops to 70 Bass per day. My scent will increase your catch ratio 30%.
Each person you work with holds some promise to your future success.
