When fish bite do they leave a scent on the lure?

[bjoyce66]

I use mainly jigs and I was wondering why it always seems like when your body is all torn up from bites and you throw a brand new one on the same color and everything you dont seem to get as many bites. I was wondering when a fish bites if it secretes anything onto the lure that the fish are attracted to?

i dont know, but i do know that when i catch a pike i change jigs.

It may be that the 'new' jig has more of YOUR scent on it than anything the previous customers have left behind. Just sayin--------

Careful of that fish DNA. I been watching NCIS. Just saying.

In all seriousness it does seem like that when I change jigs after one is torn up I put another on and get no where near the bites.

I hate to put on a new jig. Seems to make a difference to me. I will normally rub a little fish slim on a new one. I don't know that it helps, but it doesn't hurt.
