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!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

I'm just restarting this hobby after my wife passed in August. She hated the smell of cooking fish, so I haven't actively fished in many decades. Things have changed so much. The gear I used to own as a child is now listed on E-bay as 'antique'. That's uncomfortable to find out. Your site has been compelling and completely insightful for getting back to the water's edge and giving this old hobby a new shot. Thank you for all the wonderful videos.
Sorry to hear about your loss. I’m only 19 and I use gear from 72 so you’re not that old lol
I hope u heard of catch & release u shouldn't be eating bass anyway if your a fish eater,don't even fish
How it's going Rick?
I hope you are doing well Rick, from a fellow Rick and angler. Sorry to hear about your wife, I'm sure she looks down in fondness trying to make the best of life without her.
Don’t matter what you have… go fishing! And just release em for you wife, make her happy and smile in heaven waiting on you man!! Keep your faith!
that was about 8 seconds of information. Bottom line : Scents help. Avoid oil scents, they are best when water based. You're welcome.
Thanks 💪🏽
Thanks this douchebag went on forever, couldn't wait to hear the answer lol
THE GOAT
It all depends on the water temp think of it this way when making a cup of coffee and use cold water it hardly brakes down but if its hot water brakes down fast
If your not soaking your baits in salmon oil when not fishing your missing a trick
Just a comment to let you know the time and dedication you put into your videos does not go unnoticed. I know how time consuming it is to create even the simplest video. So thanks for knocking it out of the park yet again.
Thanks for the kind words man!
Absolutely I have always noticed that
I've watched hours and probably now, days of fishing videos. This and the companion video around bass returning to their same homing area are both two of the most valuable videos anyone could ever watch on fishing. Your insights and dedication to educating those who enjoy bass fishing is most appreciated. Excellent content!
I can tell you without a doubt that bass and catfish will try to eat soft plastics infused with earthworm extract. I’ve been making my baits with it for years now, and they literally try to swallow the bait. I took a taxidermist buddy of mine fishing a couple years ago, and I would lose a worm on the strike occasionally. My buddy would pitch to the spot and catch the bass in most cases. Nearly every time, he would pull my worm out of the fish’s throat and give it back to me. Lol
Dead sticking has also been extremely effective for bass and catfish. I don’t think that the infused scent attracts them necessarily, but I know they sure can taste it once they do bite. A study conducted by Berkley University showed that bass prefer the taste of earthworm over any other flavor that they tried. It literally ranked off the chart. It’s all in the book “Knowing Bass: The Scientific Approach to Catching More Fish” by Keith Jones.
This sounds fine. I have used Berkley PowerBait Bass attractant for a couple of years. Fishing the same spot with the same lure. I have thrown out a soft bait without scent and not gotten hit. Then applied the scent and gotten hit on the first 1-3 casts. After a few cast later no hits, applied scent and the fish hit again. Another possibility could be that bass are only driven by scent at different times. For it to be scientific, the tests would have to replicated with the same results at different times, lake temps and conditions, in different places, etc. . . One or two studies can't be conclusive.
about to say they need to conduct this same test in 10 other lakes for it to actually conclusive.
Thats that we call a small sample size
Yep, and I've done tests several times and very random... still no concrete proof. If the fish aren't biting, an attractant never made a difference.
I love the analytical and scientific videos you do and appreciate them so much. Keep up the great work you’re doing Tyler. Bass fisherman are so much better because of you
I love these types of videos you do. This is true education about bass/bass fishing and is very unique compared to most other channels. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. You truly are trying to help make others better anglers with your information. Thank you for what you do. You are one of my go to channels for information.
This is high quality stuff man, keep up this great work! God bless!
Very interesting info. I have tried but haven’t put a lot of effort into scented baits or applying scents. This video, the test data, gives me some optimism to try more this season. The tip about no oil based products was a gem. Thank you for sharing and all the effort you put into getting this info out to us all. Well done!
Really appreciate the effort that goes into your content. Learned a lot from your videos and caught my PB last fall
Another absolutely amazing video. Thank you for taking so much time to edit and break down these studies.
Glad you are back Ty. I missed ya. Amazing stuff as usual. Can’t wait for the next one!
I just want to shout out a big “Thank You “ for the time, effort, and money to give us this information. One of the most confusing parts of fishing is picking out a line that beat suits your needs. This video was very well thought out and it is now my go to guide when thinking about what line I want on my rods. 😊
You're on a roll. Amazing research and synopsis Tyler.
I really enjoy your videos... u not only have very educational and enjoyable videos to watch but u speak and explain everything in a way that everyone can understand... keep up the great work.... 👍
Very awesome more videos like this and your new flourocarbon line test are what i look for mostly. Unboxings are cool but when you get in trouble for ordering too much tackle i prefer this type of info. Well done!
Came back to see this again. You did a great job on this. I am a big fan of your bass research videos.
I love all your videos but specifically the study videos! Hope to see more of these so I can nerd out :D
Love this style of video, very informative and concise. Keep em coming!
Killer video man!! Well put together. Enjoy these ones no doubt.
Your way of explaining this study was absolutely incredible. Thanks man! Awesome vid
Great work and very insightful study results. You are doing the fishing community a great service. Thank you!
scents can definitely make a difference but some might as well be snake oil. For me they can make the biggest difference when they keep spitting a jig before I can set the hook. After applying scent, they hold onto it long enough to get a good hookset. At the very least, they can also mask human scents and the plastics of artificial baits.
BINGO
This is the comment. The only reason sent matters, they may hold onto it longer.
These new docuvidoes are fire! Thanks for your hard work!
After a couple of tournaments and other recent experiences I've been using an assortment of different scents recently and trying to find out which one works better for my waters. This is yet another video from you with some really good information, and science based facts and studies. Great Job Tyler!
Thanks for watching!
Lunkers, what is the best scent??
What have you found in your experiences?
99% of lures and attractants catch more fishermen than fish.
New to the channel . Love your study videos , real information delivered clearly … well done
I was just talking about this the other day with my buddies.I’m a big believer in maxscent it might not draw the bite but I believe they hold it longer once they got it.I’m confident in it and I think ultimately it comes down to what your confident in to be successful.
Another Awesome video !!!
Great Job - as always!!!
Another great research video brother ! I mention the last one you did in one of my videos. I tagged you in it. Keep up the the awesome work !
Ok, my mind is officially blown. What amazing work Tyler. Way to go.
Loving the return to the science videos! Really what sets you way above most other fishing channels...
Gotta say I swear by Gulp
They are time consuming but very enjoyable to make at the same time
Great video, Finn. You hit it on the head!!
Great job Tyler! I think these educational videos are awesome. Definitely can see the time and effort you put it these videos. Keep them coming. I think your channel is one the best out there!
Little secret. 1 t spoon sea salt. One crushed garlic clove 6 oz puifide water. With a little olive oil. Try it and see. Save ur money boys.
We're still enjoying the knowledge. Keep up. You're doing a great job.
you got a sub! Going to check out the merch! Great Video Thanks
Love these educational videos that go beyond fishing good work Tyler
Wow great video man!! I am going to have to look into some natural scents for my baits
Good video. I’ve had that question a long time. Thanks
So incredibly well done! Great video 🙂👍
Thanks for your great efforts, keep up the good work!
I LOVE this vid. Thx for the amazing information!!
Great information. Keep the videos coming.
Amazing video! Helps so much more to understand fish biology!
very interesting, thank you for the hard work putting this togethor.
Awesome content, Brother!!
I really enjoy these types of insights in your videos! You and Debo are probably my top two RUclipsrs I pay attention to when it comes to bass fishing. Keep up the great work!
No tacticalbassin !?!?!?! You're missing out dog
@4 4 0 - fisherman (d rock) I've watched a lot of their videos, but found I didn't enjoy their long run times and felt like they were almost too detailed to the point I felt like I was getting lost trying to understand their content. Maybe I'll try again when our lakes thaw this spring. I just really enjoy what Tyler brings to his videos and the way that he produces them.
Very interesting. Keep up the good work 💯
Great video bud. I definitely enjoy seeing studies like this.
First and foremost I just want to say great video keep it up. I really enjoyed the style of video and would definitely love to see more of these in the future.
Learned this when I got my first and only pack(s) of yamamoto senkos. Everyone said they were the OG senko, so I bought some. Went down a bank I know well in a lake I fish reg, one bluegill nibble. I was smh. Should have been bass in there. Went out to the middle, back to where I started, back to my powerbaits, back down the bank. 5 fish. All legal, one about 3#. It's not a long bank, takes me maybe half an hour to work down it, but I know it very well, so make pretty good time. That was the last time I bought something without Berkely in it. You make good videos bud, keep it up. Love me sum actual data from real thinkin people instead of just, works good for me bro, you'll catch so many fish on this
That other video that you said in the end is the video that got me to watch you and this is just as good so thank you
I learn so much on the technical side. Thank you, sooo much for your efforts 👋🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💯 👌🏿
I had an old chewed up worm fishing on shore when i was little maybe 30 years ago. There was a school of 6-8" smallmouths there. When i put a drop of dr juice soft craw scent on 10 of them would show up but when the scent wears off, only 2 or 3 would. So i use scent when the bite is tough, but not when they are crushing a spinnerbait.
Thank you for making these videos and taking your time to do all the proper and logically research and reasonings. Saves me from spending upwards of hours on my own trying to get ahold of the facts 😂
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing this study.
Here's one to stir the pot... bass dont see braid. Personal experience floro doesn't make a difference. It's cool cuz it sinks but doesn't make a difference to a bass. Add in the no breakoffs, super tough, casts farther I put more fish in the boat with braid
In very cold water (36°F), I've been noticing a difference between scented lures and strikes and unscented lures. I was fishing for european zander (a walleye cousin).
With the fact that bass behavior is controlled also by a 'conditioned response' to a positive or negative experience, it would be interesting to find a study on how effective scents are after a negative experience. Will a scent be as effective at catching a bass the second time around? If not, how long does a bass retain that negative experience. With the amount of use that Max Scent and other scents are getting, do they go from being a positive to a negative after a bass is caught?
Great point! You'd think they'd avoid a flatworm, senko or keitech
@@rocketsurgeon1746 Sometimes they do
Look at you sounding all scientific!! Fascinating video brother! Thanks for the thought provoking content.
Your contents are becoming very informative to me. These days, I watch most of your channel.
Butcher Block mineral oil has tiny oil molecules that are so small that they soak into plastic worms and if scented (salt , garlic , shrimp , crawfish , etc ) it will soak in with the oil . I have used a butcher block oil based scent flavored with the above scents that lasts for years in the worms . So effective it is that I have reeled bass to the boat and watched them open their mouth and let go of the worm . They were never hooked and only let go at the last second . I also catch at least a drum , catfish , and carp every time I go . I believe scents applied in the right way where they don't just wash off works great for me . I find it doesn't make much difference on hardbaits however as I have found that sharp hooks work better than scents do .
Awesome video man!
I like the effort the researchers put in to make sure they could re-release the bass.
*Great study, subscribed and liked!*
Great video! I have been using scents for decades and always felt they helped generate a few more bites.
In my experience scent may not attract fish but they do seem to hold on a bit longer with scent
My experience exactly.
All I throw is power bait generals, I can attest to this.
Great and informative video Tyler. You bring a very evidence based approach to bass fishing which is very innovative and helpful. Keep it up. By the way, I have tried bait fuel without much luck but I do notice that bass like the taste and feel of senkos over most other worms and hold them longer than other soft plastics so I agree that scent, taste and “feel” do make a difference 😉
10:21 idk why but this part cracked me up 🤣 'ol buddy just got yanked a mile
Fascinating video man!!!
Wow very interesting. thanks for the input
Great video, Ty. Thanks.
Awesome video! Thanks!!
Thank you for your scientific study. This truly appreciated and interesting.
This video was very well put together
Quite interesting 🤔 thanks for sharing 🎣
This was absolutely fascinating dude. Wow. Makes you think
Appreciate the video. Really interesting. I was expecting the results to be contradictory to my experience, but I was wrong. I often fish the same spots at the same time of day, particularly when I have only 2-4 hours to fish. Last week I started collecting some data of my own. I generally re scent my plastics once every 10 casts or so, but the first cast after applying scent is when I catch 75% of my smallmouth Bass. Now I gotta go read the ingredients of my scent and see if it's oil based or not, but will probably be re-scenting every 5 casts or so moving forwarrd.
Thanks Ty... Again, Bass Nerds Unite. Appreciate you being diplomatic and not name-dropping... wonder if i can put all my stick worms in the ground with a couple hundred nightcrawlers and see if the natural scent is absorbed...
Nice video appreciate it lot of good information
Now this is a productive video. A real scientific production. Thanks
I have used a sharpie to paint the tails of my baby bass senkos black and it does make a difference. I assume this is mostly a sight angle but the bass do seem to like it more than regular senkos 😉
That is a really neat study! I've had enough luck on the water using scents to know they work but had no clue about the "oil" specific issue. Thanks for the lesson on that!
What is a scent example other than an oil based one?
Im lost
Thanks for the reenforced info ! I totally agree with the findings through years of my results also !! Even in salt water scent is important ! I have dipped small strips of cloth in squid juice and caught flounder and croakers because of the same smell as squid ! Freshwater from bass to trout to walleyes scented baits and lures will definitely get more looks and pickup than the same baits unscented ! So thanks again for your affirmations !
Very interesting video. Makes a lot of scents! Lol! I really enjoyed this video!
Well done, outstanding presentation, thank you
Buy a bag of shrimp use the juices for sent and you will not regret it. April is my year for bass fishing and I always use shrimp juice. It works very well use a syringe poke. Any soft plastic with the syringe put some juice, shrimp juice inside any soft plastic you don’t even need to jig as soon as they smelled the shrimp they were going to down it try it you won’t regret it
All my years spending money on sent some old guy told me about the bag of shrimp ever since I used it I always had more luck. I live in Buffalo New York smallmouth bass in lake Erie, love shrimp specially the largemouth that’s if you could keep the catfish away.
I use shrimp for catfish. They love it.
Have you ever tried squid? It's real fishy smelly.
This was very informative thanks
Amazing Tyler!
Guys, he is back! And what a content! 🤗
Keep the studies coming, loving this content
Damn this channel is good! Earned a sub Forsure 🤙🏽
Thanks for this video.
Definitely appreciate your videos on bass biology.
Finally something in the world of fishing that is NOT completely anecdotal. Well done.
Wow. What a great video. Your time is much appreciated. I use scent on my plastics all the time and my husband does not...guess who catches more fish! Yup...me.
