Attractants? (smelly things)

[bassmasta]

Another reason for the attractants is to make the fish hold on longer when it picks up your bait. I went to the bass pro shop a few days ago. They do a lure demonstration in their tank. A little largemouth hit the rubber grub(which had no attractant) the dude was using, and spit it out in literally a second. All my favorite softbaits are scented, the extra little second might be just the thing you need to pull in a lunker. And about the garlic, i've found chicken liver/gizzards really work with garlic and it doesn't have to be rotten.

Hope this helps,
