Works.... I find on nights that the fish will hit but not commit adding a smidge gets them to take it fairly aggressively....

I also know of a fifty taken on a plug that had it on it......

i soak my sluggos in the bio edge eel potion, ive outfished guys with live eels side by side before, that was good enough for me. The stuff sticks like crazy but has made some slow nights into great ones.

Ive had some soaking for over a year now, cant wait to break em out this season.

I keep my soft plastics in one of those berkley liquid gulp containers, nice and sealed tight.

Want to try the smelly jelly this season and the stuff gatta fish is talking about.

I've found similar experiences with bigger hits after putting that stuff on, and had many fishless days or nights when some attractant changed my luck. I always have some in the bag. Strangely I always get a hit 2 or 3 casts after putting it on the plug, but never the next cast. weird.

You picked up the darters very well on our canal trip.... maybe next will combine attractants with something else like mastering the needlfish next time I get you out,,,,

I basically think it can't hurt... The only thing to remember is it really is probably not good to leave on plugs and it makes they very slippery; so if you use a plug as a "handle" at times be careful. I am planning to experiment with it while cod jigging this year as I am sold it can make a difference for bass even if its just a confidence thing.
