Pro-Cure Scents For An Edge In The Big Fall Derby
Every angler out there is looking for an edge, something that
will tilt the odds in their favor and fall trouters are no exception. One of the things that I rely on to generate extra strikes throughout the year is Pro-Cure fish scents.
Sometimes the bite is wide open and you can catch trout without adding scent. Other times when the fish are totally inactive they are tough to catch no matter how much scent you slather on your baits and lures. The rest of the time when fish aren’ t really

active, but aren’ t really turned off either is when adding a bit of Pro- Cure Super Gel can really pay dividends in terms of generating those extra strikes that can mean the difference between a fair day and a great outing.
So what scents do I use when targeting fall trout? Most of the time fall trout will be feeding on either threadfin shad or pond smelt. Being a match the hatch sort of angler, I go with threadfin shad and smelt Pro-Cure Super Gels when trolling, but I’ ll often mix in sardine, anchovy or tui chub.
When I’ m slinging baits like Zeke’ s Sierra Gold, Berkley PowerBait or inflated worms off the bank I really like to expand the selection of scents I utilize. I still play with the baitfish scents, but I really like sweet scents like anise, predator, kokanee special, trout and kokanee magic and carp spit.
My all time favorite scent when I’ m bank fishing is anise krill. All fish seem drawn to the scent of anise and trout have a real taste for krill. I’ ve found anise krill Super Gel to be particularly effective

Thomas Buoyant And Kastmasters Spoons: A Potent One, Two Punch For Collins Lake Bank Anglers
When many people think of bank fishing for trout they think of
soaking bait. That’ s a deadly approach for sure, but if the trout are chasing bait during the Collins Lake NTAC championship event this November you might need to toss hefty long casting spoons that imitate shad. There are few offerings that do this job as well as Thomas Buoyants and Kastmasters.
The Thomas Buoyant spoon is a deadly trout lure. It’ s an erratic-action wobbler that imitates the darting motion of a frantic, fleeing baitfish. This action, combined with jewelry-quality finishes, creates a spoon that entices even the wariest of trout. You can check them out online at www. thomaslures. com.
Among California trouters the Kastmaster may well be the most popular spoon available. Kastmaster’ s balance produces wild action without line twist! Because of its aerodynamic design, it’ s the master distance caster, and catches trout from pan-sized planters to bragging sized holdovers.
The Kastmaster is precision machined. It will not break, bend or corrode and it retains its luster even after seasons of repeated use. For more visit www. acmetackle. com.
