A recent study done on largemouth bass may have you thinking differently as to whether you should be adding scents to your lures!
One of the biggest questions that we have as anglers is “does scent actually help you to catch more bass?”
At times you see professional anglers meticulously putting scent on their lures as if they were cooking a meal for themselves and other times you see anglers say that scent just doesn't really make a big difference at all.
There are lure manufacturers that spend 100s of thousands of dollars creating scents that specifically attract bass, and you have guys at home melting down used soft plastics and putting them into homemade containers and they still catch bass.
So does scent matter to a bass? Will you actually catch more bass by using scent? Can a bass even smell?
In 2015, fisheries biologist at Carlton University in Ontario, Canada wanted to determine how Largemouth bass are able to locate their nest after being caught by anglers. The findings of this study may show us just how important the sense of smell is to a bass’ survival so let's dive into it and see what science says!
