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 .
