Kaiser D. I take your egg goo comment personally. I haven't forgotten the "most fishermanly smelling fisherman" label you stuck me with a while back. Fishing eggs is a big enough pain without trying to stay clean. I figure you might as well embrace the goo.

As for the smelly jelly, I have yet to see it make a huge difference in the rivers one way or another but I believe it in. I do like that it stays on really well. I put it on plugs, jigs, PW's, and drift gear and even after substantial time in the water, I can still smell it. It sticks...and stinks for sure. Much better than the liquid version or other more oil based scents I have tried. I have been using the shrimp for steel. The herring salt flavor (which about makes me gag) for salmon and the ocean. I have started putting dab on my upper lip just below my nose to get used to the scent. Seems to be working, but my girlfriend isn't so keen.
