Not a tyer but questions

Your right...and after they have been back in the water for a few minutes they will come back to life...Just put some more attractant on them and go back to fishing. And for SuperDave a nibble type slab sauce was tried and tested....did not work as good.

Weren't they called Gubbers? My spelling may be off

I've never used slab sauce but plenty of others. The problem is they're oily/greasy and you're not gonna get it out of the jig completely. As long as it's not matted down while in the water fishing you're good to go.

I recommend applying scents to the chenille and on hair jigs I push the hair back to open up them up a bit and squirt it inside by the head/collar/hook shank then mash it in a bit. On big bucktail jigs I rub scent into the sides 1/4-1/2" from the collar. The hair will naturally hold it. The slick painted head won't hold it long.

I've used Dawn dish detergent to wash greasy Pro Cure menhaden scent out of $$ bucktails I tie for offshore jigging and caught fish the next trip. Wash well, pat dry then hang to dry, then put in your tackle box only once 100% dry or you'll start rusting things.

I believe that sounds right

Tying my own I never thought about a second trip with a treated jig. I usually use em enough and throw em in places that they eventually don’t come back from. My small jigs I use a lot lately are micro chenille body and sparse kiptail. They hold up well for me.
