Does The “Bait Fuel” Scent Live Up To All The Hype Around It?

[@terrellmassey9808]

It’s so good to see that not every person on the planet has literally lost their mind! Randy you are a great defender of a precious privilege and sport .keep up the good work man!!!

[@jefferyholland]

First time out with bait fuel was as a co angler during post frontal conditions and I was only one in the boat to catch anything. Was not a great day on the water but considering the situation it made me a believer.

[@catchofthedave8681]

i been using the baitfuel about a month..... I was catching fish among other people that weren't. I was getting catfish and other fish bite too. On a pressured small lake near me I was able to catch fish when people around me kept asking what I was using (I told them but left out the baitfuel part). But already I have started to notice the stuff not working as much, it still gets extra bites, but the fish are seeing it everywhere; it's not popping off like it was. I believe like anything else.....the fish are getting accustomed to it. and literally almost every single tournament angler I know has bait fuel now. so these fish are seeing it everywhere. But anything thats gonna get me an extra bite or 3, im in!! its facinating to watch how they tested it against hundreds of other mixtures in their video series, and I def love how this stuff was made not to stink and how its a new kind of scent.

[@buzzworth2396]

I decided to watch this video based on what you said. I have been considering using Bait Fuel this summer. You mentioned that you like BANG & I also use BANG and have for decades. It's made in Tucker Ga or at least it used to be. I've been asked if I believe if it is an attractant? I don't know that, but I use it to mask the smell of me. It definitely works!!

[@chrisboyd1408]

We're gonna have the same problem in a couple of years where every single fisherman on the lake is using it so eventually the efficacy's gonna go down significantly over time

[@HanSoloxcs]

Okay?. Like every other thing fisherman use too, so there's no difference.

[@swimbassin6196]

Senkos still work so we shall see

[@morganhood9425]

100% works been using it for awhile now. I've been anti-scent guy, tried it all from the sticks to the spray this is the first one I've noticed a difference. It's impressive how long they hold on and how it does seem to give you an extra edge in pressured situations.

[@russellallison468]

Thanks for the video. I have had a little success using Bait Fuel also. But I prefer the Maxscent baits from Berkley.

[@buzzworth2396]

Don't know about Bait Fuel, but I do know about BANG. Made in Tucker Georgia and I've used it since 79. It was given to me in the later part of that year by a guy who I fished with since I was a teenager. It's always worked & I caught numerous bass on it since then. I now use something nobody I know does. I still use FishSticks. That's what it's called and KVD endorses it It's a attractant but I use it to mask the smell of me. It works better than anything I've found. BaitFuel is one I haven't used yet. I've thought about using it when it gets colder to see if it is as good as FishSticks. I'll know this November

[@carlfinley4649]

Got my bottle last week, I wasn't getting bit deep so I figure I would give it a shot. Coincidence or not, I started catching them after applying

[@loganvilletiger5076]

I have used Kicking Bass” garlic scent for decades. I believe in it. It is thick like bait fuel, sticks great. Like Randy, fishing with a friend I was using it. He was bitchin’ “not to get that stinky stuff in his boat…”. Well, after catching 8 to his 0, I see his plastic worm dangling in front of my face…..”can I have a little of that stuff..?” End of day, me 28, him 20. It works!!

[@GabooNx]

Soaked my jig and trailer for 3 days in it, fish didn’t jump in the boat but they thumped my jig and took it deep, that hasn’t been happening for me lately in June. I caught 5 fish before the trailer was wrecked, new trailer just not soaked in bait fuel and no more bites, I can tell you I lost confidence in the jig because I only soaked one to try it out. I am a believer, maxscent the fish just don’t let go and seems to be the case with bait fuel.

[@ShaneJMcNair]

Having aquariums for 50 years, I have noticed fish are very sensitive to scents. Some scents will repel fish or they don't show any interest. Other scents will cause them to attempt to eat whatever it happens to be. For example Zucchini is a favorite for some fish but not others. Baby crawfish some go crazy over as soon as one hits the water, freeze dried or alive. I currently have a native fish tank which has been very educational for me to observe. Randy Thank you for sharing.

[@highjenks3d]

Well have you tested the baitfuel in your native tank?

[@DonnMorency425]

Try Garlic flavored cooking spray. It stays on a lot longer than Bang and it’s $2 for 16oz compared to $9 for 4oz of bang. A few companies make flavored cooking spray. It works

[@fugisgonefishin]

I sometimes use anise extract from the spice isle at the grocery store, same smell as googan baits and it’s gets bass mad enough to bite just about anything! Similar situations lol

[@rippinlipsinc.2200]

[@richardmcguire6443]

[@fugisgonefishin]

@@richardmcguire6443 garlic is nature so garlic?😂 I’m joking but with anise I’ve noticed that it’s a scent bass just can’t seem to stand so they bite it with intents to move it away from their territory. I’m not a scientist but most scents are made up of multiple oils/molecules that interact with each other to give something it’s specific aroma. I’d bet my money that there’s a molecule in both anise and garlic and most likely other scents that cause a bass to bite rather than just simplifying it to “well bass don’t naturally eat garlic so this obviously won’t work”

[@charles8134]

I have 4 bottles and I’m half way through my first bottle. Seems like I get the same amount of bites but without a doubt they hold on longer without spitting it out. Just this last weekend I got a bite and hit the thumb release on my reel and counted to 15 and was still watching my line moving before I finally set the hook. I’ve only used it with zoom products so far and the salt in zoom makes the lures swell up a little and look spongy if you marinate with the baitfuel. Also I’ve noticed all my green soft plastics like green pumpkin and California 420 definitely lighten up to almost watermelon seed color but it didn’t effect junebug or black and blue. I’m a believer in it and will continue to use it. If I could make a request for a video I would love to see your Carolina rig tips or set ups thank you.

[@SouthJerseyBaitReviews]

I mean thats with any other scent bro thats what scent is for is just to have the fish hold on longer but pro-cure gel scent or fish sticks does just as good in that aspect. An pro-cure doesn't cause ur baits to swell like that and last a pretty long time on the bait. Now if u want something that will def notice a different in bites and holding on longer u might wanna try some Nories Bass bite liquid and some nories Bite powder u can mix it with the liquid that stuff works. Its whats on their baits in the package but with the added amino powder u get even more attraction since bass can detect them.

[@NeilGraham.I.M.F]

As soon as you said it's consistency was like hand soap that was the first thing I thought. Was good it should stay on your bait longer, less mess, hopefully not dripping all over your boat. And the fact that it does not have that horrible black licorice/anis type of scent which I hate so much is also nice. Maybe I'll have to give it a shot

[@af4od02]

I have never really used scents, but will start trying both Bait Fuel and Bang in the future. One thing I have always wondered is the smell, taste or aroma of Garlic from Bang or other attractants a natural condition to Bass? Garlic is a wonderful flavor, smell and taste for humans, but a bass? I smell garlic and I instantly think about the Olive Garden Restaurant, or the local Pizza parlor in my neighborhood. I get hungry and want to eat. But does a bass react the same to garlic as I? I don’t get hungry when I smell shad or crawfish found in bass mouths or the bottom of the livewell. I believe bass and humans are different creatures. Garlic scents are used to attract anglers and their money.

[@GeluNumber1]

I'd wager that the garlic is more so to cover up unnatural scents from people (sweat, soap, grease, etc.) than it is to attract fish. But I could be wrong.

[@tressbassin]

I was using this stuff before I saw anyone talk about it except JT Kenny. I do like it. One thing I’ve noticed though is if you squirt it in a pack of baits to marinate it and don’t use all the baits over time the bait fuel will dry up almost like an Elmer’s glue type film. It hasn’t hurt the baits at all just gives your worm’s dandruff haha. Pick out of the bag squirt some more in there and you are good to go.

Any thoughts or comments on squirting some of these scent products into a bag of plastics and leaving them marinading for days/weeks/months? I don't fish all that often so a bag of plastics can sometimes last quite a while. I've wondered about whether essentially storing the plastics soaking in scent liquid would be a good thing (more scent may be absorbed by the plastic) or bad (would the scent chemicals over time cause the plastic to break down, get sticky or weak, etc). I guess it may vary depending on the particular plastic and scent product. I've never experimented and would be interested to hear if anyone else has tried it.

[@kballhog]

JT Kenney promotes this and that is exactly how he says to use it, right in the bag and let the plastics marinate. Its water soluble and foes not appear to contain anything that will deteriorate plastics over time. No issues for me with plastics coated in it for weeks.

[@weshunter1796]

Test it on one bait before marinating a whole package. Some plastics swell from the moisture, and some dyes fade or change.
