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


    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?

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

    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.

    A lot like the old Wannabe... except with fewer bad words. And Karate chop action. But, yes, still purtier than you.

    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.
