Reply With QuoteI know when it was extremely muddy water the hits I got were right after I sprayed the slab sauce. If I hadn’t sprayed in a while no hits. Spray and bam!

Jig Smell
MY opinion is that jigs that has caught fish do better than those that have not. My belief is that it is due to the smell that is now on the jig from that fish. I will throw the same head, jig, line etc side by side and 9/10 the one that has caught a fish will catch another. This leads to my question, do you believe crappie are more sight or smell driven when trolling? (longline) which I think both play a factor but I think they are mostly sight, but the smell makes them commit. All input appreciated.

I’ve never tried it. I always just rubbed it against fish in the livewell... haha. Sounds like I need to give it a shot.

If you only catch fish that has bit on a hook once. Then how does it work if you have no fish to start with to rub it on?

'08 you're on to something there I think too. Smell (bad or repelling ones to fish) will affect your catch ratio, when I go I try and gas up day before, I don't even wash my hands with pretty soap the morning of my trips. If I can I'll even rub my hands in the sand at the boat ramp before I get in boat, but once a fish comes overboard, (no matter the type) (except catfish) I'll give him or her a rub. I believe it works but I mainly try and stay away from the bad smells the would repel them.
If you don't get hung every-once-n-a-while you ain't jigg'n it right..:D

My opinion smell has a big part in it. It's not the only thing, but its a big part.
