10 Nor Cal Trout Anglers Challenge Feb 2 - 16, 2018 VOL.37 • ISS. 04 Combine Pro-Cure Bait Oil With Worms For Cold Water Trout! T rout anglers are well versed in applying Pro-Cure Super Gel to their lures and baits, yet most of these same anglers never use Pro-Cure Bait Oil and that a big mistake, particularly if the water is cold. If I’m bait fishing from the bank, especially when the water is cold and the trout are lethargic I like to inject my night crawlers with bait oil. Now, most bank trouters inflate their worms with air to float them off the bot- tom. Since oil is lighter than water, inject- ing worms with oil causes them to float, but you get the added benefit of creating a scent trail as tiny oil droplets seep out of the worm. This oil and worm trick has helped me enjoy productive trout fishing in the dead of winter when guys fishing around me were getting blanked. A variety of different scents work. I’ve enjoyed success with Anise Bloody Tuna, Sweet Corn, Carp Spit and Garlic Plus. The best advice I can give you in terms of the scent, is to have a couple “sweet” scents and a couple “robust” scents. From that point forward it’s all about confi- dence!
