I have tried many scents over the past 65 years that I have been fishing. I remember my dad and I making our own scents as far back in 1953 when I was only eight. He would experiment with different oils and anise and I guess that has always been in my mind to invent the things or items that would make my fishing better. Over a decade ago I found crappie.com on the internet and immediately became a member. Years later I was blessed to actually meet Ed Moes when he was in Alabama. I really enjoyed meeting him and picking his brain about fishing. Still through the years I have always been fascinated about fishing scents especially when I began to make my own soft plastics. I made spray on scents. I infused scent into the hot plastic. I bought scents from Wal-mart and also Cabelas and a few years back was the first time I actually tried "Slab Sauce" made by Ed Moes. I have done many tests for myself over the years. I would even spray on different scents into the crappie nibbles to try and get an edge over whomever I would be fishing against.
In all honesty they all had their advantages and some even had disadvantages. That is how I learn. I am a hands on person. I liked a lot of the home made stuff that I personally made. I liked some of the recipes that I found on the internet for making scent and used most of them too. I said all that to say that even though I am not a professional, I recognize what worked best for me. That was "Slab Sauce" and I have just ordered "Garlic Slab Sauce" again for the third time. Even an old dog will come home when it is dinner time. The crappie here in Alabama seem to like this mixture just a bit better than what I mix up so I will always have some in my fishing vest. Some of my biggest crappie and those of my fishing friends have come when we sprayed 'Slab Sauce" on our stinger lures. I am Shipahoy41 and I approve of this message.
If you've ever owned an aquarium, when feeding the fish you know, they can smell food in the water a second after it hits the surface.

Want to hear something funny. I do catch crappie in my aquarium! I have 2 aquariums with crappie in them and when I've needed to transfer crappie from one tank to another. When I've used a net, the crappie go crazy and even will hurt themselves bouncing off the walls. But when I drop a jig in the aquarium and they hit it, I'm able to transfer them from one tank to another in a matter of seconds. They don't know what happened and are stress free. lol
