Using scents on stick baits

[Deouss13]

So im very glad to see someone started this topic.. I am new to fishing western basin.two trips from western NY this year. Was in the Port Clinton Walmart on one of the windy days, and my son and I watched a guy with a charter shirt on pick up and look at each if bottles of scent..ending with him grabbing a bottle of orange gel scent. I followed him around the corner and asked if he was a guide.turns out he was. He guides in western B, then follows the fish as they head east, then he guides in florida rest of year. Long/short- hes a serious guide, and HES buying stuff..so why would he bother if it wasnt important??

Soap and water is a to do after a day of fishing, I at times use on spoons but cranks are just to much anymore. The Emerald Shiner does well on the jigs also.
