Bug Off
What repellent do you find works best, not just for skeeters, but for no-see-ums and green heads?

Muscol. It's around 99% deet.....and probably takes years off your life, but it works great.

Cutter Advanced.
No stink,no greasiness.You don't even know you got it on.Except the bugs leave you alone.And much safer than products with DEET.I'll never use anything else again.

I like the Ben's stuff.Off works also.always a can in the rig.
I think it should have a odor so u know it's on the deet is bad stuff.
man i got it bad one morning at the canal.
Talk about being violated.They had thier way wit me.

Waist- to- head Mosquito- netting zip- up "jacket"... & gloves on my hands in extreme bug situations (though rare for me, as I avoid windless nights in Summer... & relish wind-in-face fishing!)...
Avon Skin-So-Soft has worked for me when bugs are not too crazy! Just don't go home to the GF (or wife for you marrieds) wearing it late- night... or she won't believe you were really fishing! (You'll still smell "sweet" even over Eel & pogy & Bluefish residue!)  |

Ben's is good stuff, but most stuff with deet works decent. For me cutter advance was a joke, stopped using it after 2-3 trips. Thought maybe I didn't apply enough or had sweat it off, but it just didn't work and couldn't keep anything away from me.

Just the opposite for me.Works fantastic for me.
The bugs will still buzz around you but they won't bite |
