So I just won a bottle of shrimp gel scent and my first though was to put some yarnies in it the night before I head out and dead drifting them like I normally would, what is everyone's thought on this?
Whew. Thought this was gonna be a thread about drenching flies in sent. I was about to yell blasphemy. Sent and yarnies is cool though, and a proven fish catcher. Can't say I haven't done it.
When you're done w/ the scent soaked yarnies - I'd wash them off really well and dry them out before putting them back in with my other flies - or I'd put them in their own zip lock bag or their own fly box. That scent stuff turns rancid after a while and will smelly-up your other flies, not necessarily for the better!
A mild solution of liquid dish soap and warm water works well to remove the scent gel when you're done.
No prob. I learned the hard way and wound up with rusted, ruined flies that made the whole box smell like rotten shrimp. About a hundred bucks worth of flies ruined because of one moment of stupidity.
