There's a great video entitled "why fish strike" that has been around for a while. It is one of the most informative viedos I've seen. The video is based on salmon fishing, but when your done watching it, the gears in your head will be spinning with modifying the techniques in the video to striped bass fishing.
Basically, the guy is trolling 2 rods and has 2 cameras watching the baits on each rod. He changes, colors, scents, techniques throughtout the video and you would be amazed at how often fish are following his lure vs. striking the lure.
On the topic of scents, he takes 2 new lures out of the package, sets one down on his downrigger with no scent, the other lure dips in the bildge pump oils from his boat. The lure that was dipped in oil outproduces the brand new unscented lure by some rediculous amount - and you see it all on video.
I'm confinced, scents can give you that edge.
