Speaking of scent... Here's a tip that really cuts down on the amount of times that you need to re-apply scents. Now, this only works with soft baits. Take a wire brush (bbq grate brush will work). Lay swimbait on it's side. Gently push brush bristles into the swimbait until it's roughly 1/4 to 1/2 way through. Flip swimbait onto its other side and repeat. Now you have several hundred tiny holes with which your scent of choice will seep into. It works very well, and lengthens the amount of time between re-application.
