sandworm Potion

When I was at the MSBA, I bought some of the sandworm potion. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? I have never used scents before and I figured how could it hurt. My question is would you use this on plugs? Would it confuse a bass that was going after a fish that smelled like a worm? I figured I'd put it on the tube n worm or something. What applications would you use it for?

I dont ever use any of this stuff but, this is one I am going to try. I have a good friend who swears by it and said his fish take has been increased by half!

they make the juice, and also a stick that is like chap stick that you can rub on hard baits. I am storing all of my soft baits in ziplocs with a little squit of the juice. i have the stick but i haven't tride it yet because I really haven't started using plugs yet. soon, though....

so far i am liking it....a lot......

I talked to the representatives at the RISSA show and he indicated that the scent is made from real sand worm extract. If you ever trolled a tube and worm or Niantic Spinner with a sand worm, then you know sand worm really works.

Up until recently, I was never a big fan of adding scents to my artificial lures, but last year I experimented with smelly jelly and I'm confident it improved results. Whether the scent actually attracts fish or hides human scents/odors can still be debated.

Time will tell.

Potions

When I was a kid we had something called Love Potion # 9. Any similarities?
