Pro-cure gel for trout?

I put gel on my night crawlers too.

do you really notice a difference on live bait?

I've applied the Pro-Cure Trophy Trout gel to my minnow plugs when fishing for trout.  Not really sure if it makes much of a difference though.  Like others have said, the stuff is very sticky and messy.

Before I converted to using Berkley Gulp! smelts, I used to rely on 2 inch white Gitzit tubes for jigging for trout.  Applying scent to these tubes DOES make a difference!  I would typically smear them with anchovy or sardine oil.  When fishing them next to someone who was fishing a jig without scent, I'd outfish them 4 to 1.  I imagine it'd be similar if you applied Pro-Cure.

I have only used the "trophy trout" flavor.  I typically just use the tip of the bottle to sorta rub it around... a minute of trolling smears it out nicely.  I don't have a lot of data to go by when formulating a conclusion, but on a recent 4 day trip I outfished my buddy 3 to 1.  Exact same lures and presentation... I had the scent and he did not.  Good enough for me to swear by the stuff.  I figure at bare minimum it covers up my scent...

Hell, i rub that crap all over myself when i huntnfer the trouts.  Hardcore.

Ive used it for trolling as well, but guess I will have to try it for all types of fishing and see what happens

I have several different scent bottles, but I have to admit, I haven't noticed much difference when ever I've used them... I'm sure they can make a difference in some circumstances, but everytime I've used them there has been no improvement on a slow bite. If they're biting well, I don't even consider using them. I hate the mess! That's how I lost a $450 rod and reel this year!  But, anything that improves your confidence is worth using...confidence is your BEST bait in your tackle box....

I became a believer 2 weeks ago.  I had only 2 hours to fish Quarry Lakes in Fremont.  The first hour was dead although there were  jumpers around me.  So I remembered I had a sample bottle of ProCure Trout gel and put some on my one of my Rapala J7.  The other lure I just left alone.  Within 2 minutes the scented lure landed a fish and I ended up 4 trout total before I had to leave. All 4 hit the lure with ProCure.  The unscented J7 had one miss and never got a solid bite.  I bought a bottle first chance I could.

When I get on the water before I rig up I use Mike's Anise Gel and put it on my hands so it masks the scent of bug spray, sun block, peanut butter sandwiches, etc.

When trout fishing I use Pro Cure Garlic Plus on my dodger, line & lure if using one.  I do not garlic up my nightcrawler, but might try it.  Seem to catch more using the Garlic than not... but I don't have the patience any more to not use it so I can't give actual comparisons.
