attractant verces instinct is a fromatable debate, I am sure both are right, But I also think that the time of the year also plays a part as to wich works best...
during spawn of salmon, we know they are not feeding but infact attacking any thing comming down the river they feal is a threat out of instinct.
we know bass like cats will strike any thing that jumps in front of thier faces and is why bass fishing has reached its fame..
we know that fish at time have loc jaw and wont hit anything. we have dropped cameras down our ice holes and put every thing imaginable right on the nozes of different species only to have them sit there and do absolutely nothing..
I have seen attractants loosen up loc jaw a bit but never fully when they are locked tight.
I dont think the avrage smells have to much affect on fish, but I do think acids have just as much repelling affect of fish as they do us.. meaning if we can smell it they can probably taist it. tobaco is quite taisty, I do like a good cigar or fire up a pipe several times a year... I would smoke more if it werent for the amonia they have been using to deliver the nicatine in tobaco products... "I am some what elergic to amonia"
fish love tobaco worms,
my point is that if the acid is still putting off a sent it is probably still soluable in the water meaning it can relase some acid tho minute can be enough to turn a fish away if it gets to close not acting out of instinct...
