Default Using Fish Attractant??

Do you all use any kind of fish attractant with your lures? I have been fishing with both live and frozen shrimp but want to move to more artificial. I have tried throwing a few with no success but admittedly I am new and learning. I mainly fishing Prien and Big Lake, in case that makes a difference. Any insight, without giving away your secrets of course, would be greatly appreciated.

I use the fish stick attractant, it isn't messy and it goes a looking wats. I have used it side by side with others not using it and catch three to one on the same baits. I do think it help a lot.

I put it on after each fish and if its slow just every once in awhile. I usually just take a quick smell before casting. Mullet scent isn't to bad a smell.

So sounds like I need to start using it for sure. Thanks for the suggestions, I really appreciate the input. I also read that garlic scent is good for saltwater, anyone want to confirm or deny!

Use gulp. It's messy and expensive but works really well.
