I liked to use toothpaste to when fishing for kings in the salt. I'd wash my hands with the paste before handling the bait - in a theory that the toothpaste would mask my human scent.

Have no idea if it made a difference or not, as I seem to do find with or without using toothpaste on my hands.

But hey, if you think it works for you, than by all means, keep using it! I love all those silly superstitions and rituals us fisherman do! Makes the sport fun!

No Bananas!
