I think it does. In my opinion it makes fish hold on to the bait longer since there is some flavor. I dont think it really attracts them though.

Give fish sticks a try, they are awesome! You can get them at bass pro or straight from this site.

Yea I’m with BBK on the Fish Stix scent. I use it with all my plastic baits. Go to the KVD store on the homepage and check it out.

If you think it makes a different, it does, if you don’t, it doesn’t. I’ve messed with some Megastrike, but didn’t notice any big uptick in catch rates, so I just don’t bother with it.

If it gives you more confidence then I’d say use it.  I used to use it b4 scented baits came out.  Now I don’t waste my time with it.

Thanks for the info guys I think I am going to order some of that fish stix. See if it helps out. Its been dry and hot out here hasnt rained in a month. Triggering these fish to bite has been tough. So maybe this well help a little bit.

Good choice. Be sure to keep them in a cool place (if yo can find one) because they will melt.

The Fish Sticks are a good choice, I like the craw scent for my jigs and soft plastics and the bait fish scent I use on crankbaits and spinnerbaits.  Keep them inside a plastic bag and in a cooler the do smell and will melt.

I use craw on worms, craws, jigs, anything worm or craw like that requires them to hold it in their mouth before I set the hook. I use the shad on flukes and walleye plastics, and sometimes on spinnerbaits if I’m yo-yoing them.

I don’t throw cranks very much, but when I do I dont bother with scent.
