Smelly Jelly Pro Guide - 4 oz.

I have owned many different types of scent additive over the years and I could never really tell if they were helping or not. This stuff works and you don't need to re-apply it after a couple of casts. I actually came across this product watching bass fishing tips on Youtube. The angler said he was using crawfish scent and that it was made from crushed crawfish. It wasn't an ad for Smelly Jelly, he just tossed in a plug for this product because he liked it. The first thing you notice is how strong it smells. I used a small amount on the tip of my finger to coat the bait and line above it. I couldn't even get the smell off my hands afterward, it has the consistency of grease which keeps it on the bait for 20 to 30 casts maybe more. The second thing I noticed was the bass that I was catching. I had a finesse worm on the line and if I didn't set the hook immediately they would actually swallow the whole worm making it very difficult to get the hook out. I have two more containers on the way, I also want to try some of the other scents.

Perfect

Great stuff, I've been using it for over 20 years. This is the same 'flavor' but with 3x UV, they sparkle more on soft plastic baits when wet.

DO NOT TEST SMELL THIS....Take the advice from a dumb a$$ like me. Of course, I had to remove the lid, stick the jar up to my nose and take a deep inhale....It burned my nose, nearly vomited, gagged for half an hour. My wife smelled it in the other room (after a few minutes the smell just migrated across the house) My dogs went crazy trying to find what stunk. The consistency of thick vaseline, and the smell.....how to describe the smell.... I guess put a hundred dead fish in a garbage can, set it out in the hot sun for about a week, then remove the lid. IT STINKS! I can't believe any living creature would be attracted to this, but for some reason, the BASS absolutely love it. It stays stuck on the lure for (seems to be forever). Even after removing the product the lure still stinks. Glad I have small plastic bags to keep lures in, but they really don't keep the stench out.

Yes it is messy and yes it stinks but the bass love it. I don't know what it is, but you will get more bites with it than without it. Of course if using Berkley scented products this stuff is a waste but a slow moving non scented soft plastic or jig and trailer this is when it shines. I put some on the head of my jigs and on the body of the trailers. In the cold water periods I like to smear some on my suspending jerk baits and deep diving cranks. It does get me bites.

Been using guide formula for years. A jar lasts a long time and the bass love it. Use it on all my worms and plastics as well as on crankbaits.

I didn't notice any significant gain in catches but I bass fish a lot and maybe this would be better for catching catfish or using it with something on a bobber. I gave it a try and haven't had much luck with it. Results may vary in different areas. Good Luck and tight lines
