Randy does a review on the Baitfuel hype and discusses whether he believes that lives up to all the hype…#bassfishing #fishing #bass #fishthemoment #scent Baitwrx link…bait-wrx.com/?... Lake map breakdowns…fishthemoment....
We're gonna have the same problem in a couple of years where every single fisherman on the lake is using it so eventually the efficacy's gonna go down significantly over time
I decided to watch this video based on what you said. I have been considering using Bait Fuel this summer. You mentioned that you like BANG & I also use BANG and have for decades. It's made in Tucker Ga or at least it used to be. I've been asked if I believe if it is an attractant? I don't know that, but I use it to mask the smell of me. It definitely works!!
You know he shoots straight and doesn’t normally follow the herd. Randy isn’t afraid to tell the truth and go against the grain. I use this stuff too, I should have bought stock in it bc everyone is using it
First time out with bait fuel was as a co angler during post frontal conditions and I was only one in the boat to catch anything. Was not a great day on the water but considering the situation it made me a believer.
Don't know about Bait Fuel, but I do know about BANG. Made in Tucker Georgia and I've used it since 79. It was given to me in the later part of that year by a guy who I fished with since I was a teenager. It's always worked & I caught numerous bass on it since then. I now use something nobody I know does. I still use FishSticks. That's what it's called and KVD endorses it It's a attractant but I use it to mask the smell of me. It works better than anything I've found. BaitFuel is one I haven't used yet. I've thought about using it when it gets colder to see if it is as good as FishSticks. I'll know this November
i been using the baitfuel about a month..... I was catching fish among other people that weren't. I was getting catfish and other fish bite too. On a pressured small lake near me I was able to catch fish when people around me kept asking what I was using (I told them but left out the baitfuel part). But already I have started to notice the stuff not working as much, it still gets extra bites, but the fish are seeing it everywhere; it's not popping off like it was. I believe like anything else.....the fish are getting accustomed to it. and literally almost every single tournament angler I know has bait fuel now. so these fish are seeing it everywhere. But anything thats gonna get me an extra bite or 3, im in!! its facinating to watch how they tested it against hundreds of other mixtures in their video series, and I def love how this stuff was made not to stink and how its a new kind of scent.
Soaked my jig and trailer for 3 days in it, fish didn’t jump in the boat but they thumped my jig and took it deep, that hasn’t been happening for me lately in June. I caught 5 fish before the trailer was wrecked, new trailer just not soaked in bait fuel and no more bites, I can tell you I lost confidence in the jig because I only soaked one to try it out. I am a believer, maxscent the fish just don’t let go and seems to be the case with bait fuel.
I used to have a can of stuff called "Bang" in my tackle bag. My wife saw it and said, "do you spray that on your lure to make fish horny?" It still cracks me up today
I have used Kicking Bass” garlic scent for decades. I believe in it. It is thick like bait fuel, sticks great. Like Randy, fishing with a friend I was using it. He was bitchin’ “not to get that stinky stuff in his boat…”. Well, after catching 8 to his 0, I see his plastic worm dangling in front of my face…..”can I have a little of that stuff..?” End of day, me 28, him 20. It works!!
I've been using smellyjelly since it came out, love it! (Garlic&craw) My only issue is having to keep it in the cooler on hot days or you end up with smelly liquid lol.
100% works been using it for awhile now. I've been anti-scent guy, tried it all from the sticks to the spray this is the first one I've noticed a difference. It's impressive how long they hold on and how it does seem to give you an extra edge in pressured situations.
It’s so good to see that not every person on the planet has literally lost their mind! Randy you are a great defender of a precious privilege and sport .keep up the good work man!!!
Try Garlic flavored cooking spray. It stays on a lot longer than Bang and it’s $2 for 16oz compared to $9 for 4oz of bang. A few companies make flavored cooking spray. It works
I sometimes use anise extract from the spice isle at the grocery store, same smell as googan baits and it’s gets bass mad enough to bite just about anything! Similar situations lol
@@richardmcguire6443 garlic is nature so garlic?😂 I’m joking but with anise I’ve noticed that it’s a scent bass just can’t seem to stand so they bite it with intents to move it away from their territory. I’m not a scientist but most scents are made up of multiple oils/molecules that interact with each other to give something it’s specific aroma. I’d bet my money that there’s a molecule in both anise and garlic and most likely other scents that cause a bass to bite rather than just simplifying it to “well bass don’t naturally eat garlic so this obviously won’t work”
I use the Bang Garlic in my hand pours after cooled down and after packaging. Keeps the worms scented and from sticking together.. Bait fuel will be purchased soon. I need every tool that works in my Co angler arsenal! #RippinLipsInc #TracyGravely
Just picked up some of this bait fuel to try, I only Have a few questions? Does it perform better if I soak the plastic baits such as worms, swim baits ect... ? Does it work on baits like Z-Man or other plastisol type baits? Will it work on hard body baits like Topwater & Cranking Style baits? I have enjoyed the Channel Randy and I follow several of the channels you are associated with along with Matt Stephan. You guys have some of the most informative information on RU-vid. Thanks!!!!
Thank's for testing this new. Bait. Fuel. For all of us. On your you tube channel. We. Trust you. 100 percent. Randy. You are a. Premiere. Super PRO. WE ALL LNOW. THAT. YOU ARE A. PROVEN. CHAMPION. RANDY. I BOUGHT. 2. BOTTELS FROM. TACKLE DIRECT. I WILL LET YOU KNOW IN A. MONTH HOW WE DID. ME AND MY SON. GENE BOVA FROM THE CALIFORNIA. DELTA. RANDY. THANK YOU SO MUCH
What I've noticed is how many YT'ers, Pros, and even some guides are pimping this stuff as of late. So, I think the real question is how much/what is the deal that Bait Fuel is handing out to all these folks to get them to pimp this stuff.?
I’m mildly skeptical on this stuff. Every youtube review sounds like a paid for American Baitworks ad. That said, I’ll give it a trial run. Pro Cure gel has been my scent of choice. It may not drift a trail like a cartoon blueberry pie, but when the fish bites it tastes like food. The longer they hold on the easier my hook set.
Heck I caught two the week before last they were both 5 and 6 lb on black traditional old power worms after everything in my box wouldn't work went back to the old school and hell they love the power worm cuz people don't fish it that much anymore I think
I been using bang for yrs here in tn but went to fl on vacation I went fishing on a boat with about 30 people we all had the same bait but I was using bang on mine and I was out fishing all of them I felt bad so I went up the man giving out bait and sprayed it in the bait we all started catching fish some people asked where's the pizza smell coming from lol😂
I got suckered into buying a bottle of it. I used about half the bottle and didn't see that much of a result to keep buying another bottle. I took the label off and passed it on as hand sanitizer. If you think it works for you then keep buying it.
Having aquariums for 50 years, I have noticed fish are very sensitive to scents. Some scents will repel fish or they don't show any interest. Other scents will cause them to attempt to eat whatever it happens to be. For example Zucchini is a favorite for some fish but not others. Baby crawfish some go crazy over as soon as one hits the water, freeze dried or alive. I currently have a native fish tank which has been very educational for me to observe. Randy Thank you for sharing.
I remember using mann’s FS 454 in a spray can in the early 1980s We used it on everything. I was like spraying snot on a bait. Stuck to crank baits great.
I have 4 bottles and I’m half way through my first bottle. Seems like I get the same amount of bites but without a doubt they hold on longer without spitting it out. Just this last weekend I got a bite and hit the thumb release on my reel and counted to 15 and was still watching my line moving before I finally set the hook. I’ve only used it with zoom products so far and the salt in zoom makes the lures swell up a little and look spongy if you marinate with the baitfuel. Also I’ve noticed all my green soft plastics like green pumpkin and California 420 definitely lighten up to almost watermelon seed color but it didn’t effect junebug or black and blue. I’m a believer in it and will continue to use it. If I could make a request for a video I would love to see your Carolina rig tips or set ups thank you.
I mean thats with any other scent bro thats what scent is for is just to have the fish hold on longer but pro-cure gel scent or fish sticks does just as good in that aspect. An pro-cure doesn't cause ur baits to swell like that and last a pretty long time on the bait. Now if u want something that will def notice a different in bites and holding on longer u might wanna try some Nories Bass bite liquid and some nories Bite powder u can mix it with the liquid that stuff works. Its whats on their baits in the package but with the added amino powder u get even more attraction since bass can detect them.
I have never really used scents, but will start trying both Bait Fuel and Bang in the future. One thing I have always wondered is the smell, taste or aroma of Garlic from Bang or other attractants a natural condition to Bass? Garlic is a wonderful flavor, smell and taste for humans, but a bass? I smell garlic and I instantly think about the Olive Garden Restaurant, or the local Pizza parlor in my neighborhood. I get hungry and want to eat. But does a bass react the same to garlic as I? I don’t get hungry when I smell shad or crawfish found in bass mouths or the bottom of the livewell. I believe bass and humans are different creatures. Garlic scents are used to attract anglers and their money.
I'd wager that the garlic is more so to cover up unnatural scents from people (sweat, soap, grease, etc.) than it is to attract fish. But I could be wrong.
Yes glad you agree Randy, lol I was nervous that you were gonna say you didn't like it lol It does work for sure glad you verified that bc I have seen a difference too, I love that there is no smell and I dont smell like Garlic for 2 days lol...
I use the kvd scent sticks the shad and crawfish for fresh and the shrimp and mullet for salt inshore fishing and it definitely works ive put it to the test many many times..and i bought bait fuel weeks ago so far i havent got to really see for a fact it works but i believe the science of it we will see.. And i agree randy with the no color or scent it nice to put in my packs of baits
I marinate all my soft plastics with bait fuel and its definitely worth it , and it eliminates the human scent . That's a great idea on using it as a lubricant for flipping ..
I use the scent crap so that my lures slide through the cover easier. Especially over lily pads I hate when my plastic sticks to the top and catapults out of the hole I want to drop in.
As soon as you said it's consistency was like hand soap that was the first thing I thought. Was good it should stay on your bait longer, less mess, hopefully not dripping all over your boat. And the fact that it does not have that horrible black licorice/anis type of scent which I hate so much is also nice. Maybe I'll have to give it a shot
I just have no interest in getting into scent…last thing I need is something effecting my confidence cause I know the day I don’t have it I’m going to start thinking it’s a loss cause to be out there
Exactly. And I catch as many fish as anyone else on the water here, but I still have a tough time keeping confidence in baits sometimes. If I felt like I couldn't do it as well without scent I would already be at a disadvantage mentally if I couldn't use it.
@@redfishrambo5761 100% I get that way sometimes when I run out of a certain colored plastic even…I’ve gotten better with that but man there’s times where I rip through my trailers in a certain color and it turns my day upside down lol
I have two bottles of the stuff, for me I can't say that it has or hasn't made a difference. I can tell you this with certainty, the only scent I've personally used that really worked for me, other than Powerbait or Maxscent, is some stuff that's out of production now called Real Craw.
American Bait works (mfg of baitfuel ) also has a line of plastic STH infused with the stuff... I have been killing on there flat side minnow that is infused.. So much so that I have been replacing all my Maxscent stuff with theirs for Smallmouth fishing here in the north..
Hey, I was fishing near a bunch of shoreline guys....they all had bait and were catching fish...I was using only plastic...I was catching nothing....so I applied some scent to my lure then...wham...I caught a fish... yea..it works.
You might be having good luck with it. But Others on RU-vid have tested it out on the water and there bit rate when down when using it. same bait same lake some went from catching fish with out it to not even getting a bite using Bait fuel. I have not tried the stuff yet but I will be soon. Just so I can see how it works for me.
Randy I'm a Bang garlic user and I've noticed the difference as well and I put this stuff on everything and I have faith in this product and I've made believer's out of people I fish with or just wrecked them from the back of their boats!!! Thanks for all the kick a$$ content!!!!!!
I agree i use bang as well but started fishing Bait fuel and i see a big difference verses no scent i soak em overnight and man it works i kayak tournament fish at lake mead and i cant wait to use in my next tournament! thanks for all your videos i watch em all! i believe you can not consume enough you tube fishing it has for sure improved my skill level ten fold in the last couple years!
