I used to think the same but then I tried it. The smell goes away after a couple minutes once the stuff dries. Think about the painted lures. They don't seen to scare salmon away. The striping of the line acts like camo. It breaks the continuous visual line the fish can see in calm water. When there is a chop on, the broken shadows help break up the line. The marker just helps this along and seems to have the best effect in calm water. ToW |

That's a pretty darn interesting tactic. How far back up the leader do you go with the marker?

You rub across the line not with the line and be sure the mark is about 1/8 - 1/4 inch wide. Do this in several places around the reel. ToW |

I never even thought about the paint on lures....great and interesting tip! You learn something new everyday, and if you don't you can always think about what you learned yesterday!!

I wonder if I'd just trolled a while longer with this tiny laker whether something bigger and more satisfying would have taken the bait....
