queensland Mega Strike Fish Scent

[Mungrel Jack]

Hey guys, watchin AFC series 6, saw a fisherman not catchin any fish til he pulled out a tube of "Mega Strike" Fish Scent.

Went to the Tackle warehouse and got a tube for $25!! :ohmy:

anyway.. have been fishing twice now, once at our brissy river with the paste smuthered all over a lure and .... NOTHIN....

anyway, thought id head down to the spit last weekend, slagged a heap of Mega Strike on a Hard Body... nothin.. Then onto a SP.... nothing...... got annoyed...

Decided to revert back to the good ol' fresh prawn for bait...... BANG!!! Breams bigger than a foot long subway, 1m shovel nose, and a squire....

I thought to myself, Farout.... $25bucks!!!! :evil: :evil:

Has anyone caught any fish usin this Scent? what fish was caught and where? Brissy river? Coast?

It's more of a confidence thing in my opinion. I use it every now and then while surface fishing for bream but whether it works or not who knows I Still catch bream on my surface lures whether I use the stuff or not.

scents are a long debated topic, its widely accepted that some scents ie aniseed, tuna oil etc definately attract fish, who knows whats in the big brand scents these days.

i would say its more than just a confidence things, i've done side by side tests on the lures I produce myself with and without intrinsic scent additives and the scented versions won hands down.

as long as the scent is a known fish attractant and not something strange and completely out there it can only do good to tickle more of the fish's senses in my opinion.

It works with Bream as they will hit a dead sticked Berkely gulp.

As for the additives in the tube, its negligable..

too much bother for me and at $25 a tube that should give you some idea

of the worth of marketing not the actual product itself.

cheers

Looks like said Angler's sponsor plug was successful! :laugh:

I won a tube in a prize pack at an abt event, Has not worked for me ever. Most people in the comps never use scent and if any maybe garlic oil.

I think it is more technique and having the right lure on at the time, They have to want the thing first before they taste it.
