Human scent

[Thunder]

One of the best days I have had I was fishing with minners and got gas all over my hands hooking up the gas line at the ramp.

I put a little lure flavor in the bubblegum scent on my hands sometimes after I fool around with the motor and drain plug and etc...... right when I launch....depends on if I think I need to not smell like something they don't like ,,,,LOL

I spray garlic scent into a sandwich bag and drop jig in every so often, dont have to get it on my hands at all.

I wash my hands with unscented soap then apply lure scent to my hands after I get in my boat and before I touch any baits.

I use scent killer spray, then raccoon urine as a cover scent, then Tinks 69 if the spawn is on.

I've just never paid it no mind. Hasn't hurt me one bit.

Same for me. Right lure of the right size and action presented the right way - all I ever need.
The only scent that always deters the bite is that of stinky black or green, hair-like algae that you can smell on your fingers minutes after washing it off after removing it from the hook. PU! It probably leaves an odor trail that fish sense and chose to ignore the lure that has even a little bit stuck on it.

Dawn dish soap. I keep a small bottle in the boat. Rinse with lake water. They know lake water smell.

I spit on my bait.

Zip, zero, nada. Never worried about smell. I smoke, scratch my butt, and and any other place that itches. Never stopped the fish biting. Had this argument back in the 70's when I was fishing tourneys. Placed a bet with a guy that I could out fish him. I would put gas on my hands and he could use a scent blocker. For one week we had the comparison and I out fished him daily. He never used a scent blocker again. With all the different smells floating around in the water I don't think it makes a bit of difference.

If your concerned about smell buy a package of sterile gloves for a few bucks and use them than the next time don't use anything and see how your catch rates differ. You can a box of nitrate gloves for next to nothing and cheaper than any commercial scent blocker.
