Hey Gilly, the best part of drinking the anisette is eating the anise branch with the sugar on it -
It's the Pork-a-cheese version of da tequila worm... 
But you gotta watch for the soupas afterwards  |

I tried this years ago and I know it sounds crazy but I think WD-40 works as good as anything else.

Ive had nights where scent made the difference of catching or not. Or catching 3-1 to the next guy. Its something I always carry in my bag.

That sounds interesting, what do you use for "scent"? |

I carry scent everywhere I go, a strategically placed "Scent Bomb" opens up a whole new horizon not to mention elbow room

Chuck... 
I have a MUCH better use for that sugar-coated anise branch...
Get your hands on some black-market shine, if your pork-a-cheese...you know what I'm referring to. Pour the shine in the empty annissette bottle with the plant inside, it makes it a little easier to swallow....Deeeelicious  ... 
...back on-topic, I've heard from the freshwatta guys that scent is killer and a must have in your tackle box, but I've never heard anyone swear by it in saltwater. I don't and won't take up space in my plug bag with a bottle of fishpizzzz....  IMO - |

Fish Attractant
WD-40 works great because it is made from 98% Mineral Oil.
When I was working, I used to haul that stuff by the truckload.
Its made in Webster/Dudley Mass.

I bought a bottle of pogie juice from an old guy selling felt jig strips at the Woosta show - I use jigs a lot.
If it doesn't work, at least I can use it as an after-shave moisturizer
Hey, to go off topic for a minute....
Sounds good, Gilly - I'll be doin' a shimarita around the house all nite.
Then me and Mrs Crafty can play one of our favorite games -she's a bored Newport socialite and I'm Manwel, the lusty Portuguese gardener.... 
Eeee, Mary Sousa..... |

I saw that same old guy at a few different shows.
My budy bought some of the felt and the sent stuff. Not sure on what sent it was but it works ok for him.
I tryed some for fluke fishing when the bite was slow and I picked up a few fish with it.
I am going to test it a bit more this year. Hay it can't hurt to have one more thing in the box of tricks!!!!
