Well since were on the subject, how do you put your scent on? I usualy dip my frst finger in and rub it on with that finger while I hold the bait with my left hand. I keep a rag to wipe my stinky finger off. If any of you guys have a better method then share it. I dont like getting that stuff on my boat either and I would rather not use my finger. I am not sold on the paper plate idea though :P
