Dressed vs. bare tail hook

Thanks Ed: I was coating the entire lure with it (probably too much)and it severely affected the lures swimming action. I will try it the way you have suggested.

Hello Big Water and thanks for your reply. Glad I asked the question and have guys like yourself to fill in the blanks for me.

It can be a pain to apply in crappy conditions. The gel or stick probably stays on longer. I'll have to try it. Presently, I carry a small spray bottle in my bag. I , like Gary, have been fishing with no hits, then spray some stuff on and immediatley get hit. Like I said, it can't hurt. Fish have a good sense of smell and applying scent might trigger a strike. Who knows? Freshwater bass fishermen swear by it.
