They had a scent topic in the dropshot section and Van the fisherman wrote this:
"Yes, there is a garlic and nightcrawler.
They are better suited to freshwater angling but the garlic could be used in the salt as well.
The reason we use garlic, is that when a fishes skin is broken, it then emits a chemical and this chemical actually smells similar to garlic.
But, the base of the sprays are all the same, so any one of them will work."

Let me rephrase,
Spike It smells stronger and lasts longer.
I am sure the other products will also work.

Scents in Bass fishing is used to allow the bass to hold onto the lure longer, they are not used to attract the fish. In salt water the fish is most definetly attracted by the smell most predators follow the smell to feed in the sea. Through studies in the USA they have proven that smell is one of the weakest senses of a bass and sight is the strongest, sight is reckon to be 8 times that of a human with 20/20 vision, hence the reason for line that dissapear in the water.
For the above reason I like using Spike It as it gives me oppertunity to add alternate color to my lure that can possibly cause a re-action strike. I do use Bang as well but will use bang if I miss a bite or the fish is striking short, ussually happens in spring time. Don't be scared to use scent whatever your preference it can only enhance your chances!

I'm with Hennie, I don't believe that bass are attracted by the scent but it causes them to hold on that little bit longer, giving me more chance to strike. I always dip my plastics in a clear scent, if the water is discoloured I might use a chartresue or red dip, but just the very tip of the tail. I don't beleive that any bass has ever smelt garlic so prefer the crawfish or gamefish scents.
I use Spike It, mainly because that's the brand that my local tackle shop sells, but I'm pretty sure that they will all work.
