I'm sure by now most of us have used attractants in an attempt to catch more fish or have a definite opinion. Some use it, some don't. My brother in law, don't, and usually ends up wiping the bay with me. Not amusing! We both have a cigar when we go out and other than that being equal he always has gas and sunscreen and I usually do not or I always wash it off. So begs the question. Does it matter if your using i.e. herring, eel or even sandworm when your in the middle of a school of bunker? Does a sort of match the hatch scenario exist here being that a fish's sense of smell is so great that they would avoid your presentation becuase of it?
