Mike's Shrimp Gel all the way for me! Started using scents heavily last year while fishing the Hood River in Oregon and haven't gone fishin without a bottle since. Even started experimenting with scents for salmon and halibut in the salt. Can't keep the butts off the line with a squirt of lunker lotion in the herring scent. I also agree with BustinBig and FishingJunky15 in that the scent or the brand of scent does not matter as long as it covers ur human scent up. I have used all different types of scents and had success, but we all have a favorite one. I like to rub some scent on everything on my drift gear including my lead and leader. This puts a nice stinky oily slick in the water and does the trick. Fish on!!!
