If I am bait fishing I will spray a little WD40 on the worm, Power Bait, or cut bait before dropping it into the water. It masks the human scent from your hands plus acts as an attractant in the water.
Years ago when fishing near Puffer Lake above Beaver with my boys we were using Power Bait floating above sliding egg sinkers and a swivel. When we arrived we saw a guy sitting on a chair across the small pond we were fishing and reading a book. He caught one or two fish while we were there while we caught about eighteen. After several hours we decided to go up to Puffers to fish and were about loaded up in the van when the guy comes running up to us and explains that he has come to vacation there from out of state and has seen how many more fish we caught than him and begged us to tell him what our secret was. I asked him if he was using Power Bait, yes, rigging it with the sliding sinkers, yes. Do you have any WD40? Yes. Spray the WD40 onto the Powerbait before you cast it out! I wish I had a picture of his face. Really? Yeah! Try it. Acey
