I`ve had great success with scents.I fish for smallmouth & feel it gives me an advantage by adding an extra way to get their attention.IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.But with that being said you will catch fish either way.I use PRO CURE ,It`s the best around.It`s a thick & gel based ,made from pure bait.The crawfish & garlic ones are all you need for bass fishing.I also picked up some Super Glo ( glow in the dark stuff by Mike`s) for like 2 bucks & has lasted me years & still have plenty.Ts also gel like & stays on alot longer than most of the modern ones with spray applications .It smells like onions & peppers ,yes onions & peppers ,but let me tell you it`s killer on pickerel,if you go that way ,damn line breakers
Just thinking (yes, I know that's dangerous)...So why can you always catch sunnies on live worms or doughballs but not on artificials?
It occurred to me that an easy test would be to find a school of sunnies or other baitfish and drop two of the same lure (say a rubber worm) in front of them, one soaked in scent, the other not, and observe their reaction. Presumably the scent soaked bait should trigger a more voracious feeding reaction. At least this would tell you if it makes a difference.
