fish attractant
« on: July 07, 2010, 08:26:54 am »
I met some guys at the shokan reservoir last weekend and they were trolling spoons.They showed me a tube they had that looked like chap stick.When i asked what it was they were using they said it was herring wand made by bio edge.He had 4 real nice trout in the boat and had released 3 others.They said they had been using this stuff for a couple years and wouldn't go without it.The company makes a bunch of different flavors.it is expensive but I bought a tube and going to give it a try.If anyone would like to try it you can find it here.

Im not a big trout fisherman, but on a charter in Lake George for Lake Trout, the captain put attractant on all the spoons we trolled. Also on Lake Ontario for Salmon, the captain I was with used attractant on all spoons as well.

Interesting... I wonder what "flavor" would work best for reservoir trout?

I'll have to try Herring, Ken.  Are the sticks any better than the liquid varieties?

This thread reminded me of something I learned once -- that rubbing a cut clove of garlic on your hands will immediately mask any other smells on your skin.  Since I've seen plenty of garlic-flavored fish attractants, I'd have to imagine that fish at least don't mind the smell. Has anyone tried rubbing garlic on their hands and rod-handles to mask their scent?  I wouldn't mind stinking like garlic if it got me more fish.

Best,

I use the thick gooey kind that stays on my lures. Does the same job as the stick kind
which Ive never personally used. I think the thin spray on liquids are only good for soft bass baits
that absorb the attractant.
 
I've never tried rubbing garlic on my hands and I won't- unless maybe I've gotten gasoline on my hands.
That's a guaranteed way of keeping fish from hitting anything you touch.
