Yes, I do. I use Megastrike's original scent on both soft and hard swimbaits.

wouldnt it be a great idea if they imitated the scent of a stocked trout? I like the mega strike as well and hot sauce for my ocean trips(even though i've caught trout using it in oregon).does anyone remember Dr. juice? that was an interesting way to make a scent using fish phereomones,probably what the idea for the crave trout dough came from.its hard to find but it worked for me back in the days.. tight lines, brian Catch Alot,Photograph a few,Release them all...}(

I have had 6 instances where I haves seen a fish follow or come up to an un-scented lure and not eat it, then eat the same lure with scent. I think this has happened many more times, but these 6 times I kept an eye on that fish the whole time. 2 of those 6 times were with Trout-Plugs and 1 of those was a 7+# Bass. I usually used to think "I'm not going to bother with scent, it won't make a difference on this lure." Now I slather scent on everything, even Rat-L-Traps get scent now. I know it may be overkill, but it has made a difference. On the opposite note, if you notice you aren't getting bites with a scent that you, would expect to get, don't be afraid to switch. Some scents get rancid after a couple hot summer days sitting in the car or go bad on the shelf at the tackle stores. I had a jar of Rainbow Trout Bait butter that after 6 months use and many good fish, finally went bad and not even a bullhead catfish in an aquarium would touch it. Others just aren't very good for 1 species or another. I have 2 bottles of BaitMate scents that have never caught a Bass between them, but I've used them for Crappie with fair success and in Saltwater with good success. I wonder if the tube of Mega-Strike original scent that I got wasn't already bad. I haven't caught fish on it yet and I've given it a fair shake. Tight lines, Wade
