While we're on the subject of scent, my grandpa used to always spit on his bait after putting it on the hook. Said the saliva broke down the scent from his hands. I do it myself, but more for recognition of the good times I had with him. There have been times while fishing with others I have been out fishing them and I suggested they try it. I'm not sure if it made much difference however.
