4Salt,
I agree. I have yet to test the scenters using identical everything. When I used the scenter, my leader lengths and hootchie setups were identical, but my flashers were slightly different as were the distances back from the clip.

I only put the salmon scenter on the DR ball after things slowed down late in the morning, but managed to get 3 hits to 0 over the no scent DR.

I'm going to give it a shot my next time out and see if I have similar results and may even use identical set ups.
