I have been watching some fisherman on youtube that fish in the ocean. (Fishaholic and Bama Beach Bum) When they are using soft plastics I see them putting different types of scent on them. Does anyone do this in freshwater? I have used the Berkley power worms for a while and they are supposedly infused with something, but I also fished for years with runner worms that almost smelled like a new pair of Goodyear's. Just wanted some opinions.
Scent on Soft Plastic baits

They have me curios on the pro cure but honestly I don't see how it could stay on long enough to do much good?
Absolutely the same thought.
I saw Woo Daves at a BASS seminar in 1998. He said "I might go fishing and forget my underwear, but I don't forget my scent spray." Even he admitted that it might not help but certainly won't hurt. I use it, but not sure if it matters.
I remember folks spraying wd40 on plastics
I definitely don't think it can hurt. I still put crappie nibbles on my crappie jigs sometimes. Don't know if they help, but I don't think they hurt.
I had a guy swear that soaking in anise oil is a super secret that works . Never tried it myself
I can't remember what it was but in the 70s some folks claim that you could dip your line and hook in something and catch catfish
Oh one time I left chicken liver on the dock … went back opened the lid, damn near puked. Poured the green liquid into the pond. Catfish came from several states away for a taste

I always use some kind of scent.
