What is "pro cure?" Is it really worth using? When I say that, I mean in reference to going through the trouble injecting the soft plastic lures. Say I put some in a small beetle spin, would it really make a difference?
The reason I ask is i've always seen that crap on TV, and never really thought it would make that much of a difference. My reason why you ask, since we all know that fish use all their senses to feed? The reason I say that is if you are tossing a lure, than I truely feel like fish are responding more to sight and sound than anything else. Fish are impulse feeders, and I can't see where scent would help when you're fast retrieving a lure. However, I also know that isn't always the case.
For instance, I was reading the posts on the Cudas on the Cali board, I know for a fact Baracuda's will snap at anything shiney. It doesn't have to make a sound or smell like anything. They bite at the flash.
Then you've got catfish, which almost solely use their sense of smell to locate prey, especially in murkey waters.
There are also plenty of species of fish that land right in the middle.
So, with that said, under what circumstances would bait injection truely be worth while, and create a noticable difference in productivity.
