Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bug Juice Gel Scent?

Bug Juice is a gel fish attractant formulated by Brett Brady for kokanee and trout. He hand-selected every ingredient based on what he watched trigger strikes across multiple California fisheries. It is a dialed-in gel, not a generic scent, built around the attractant cues Western freshwater fish respond to.

How do I use Bug Juice Gel Scent?

Apply Bug Juice to your dodgers, lures, and soft baits before every troll. The gel clings to both hard and soft surfaces and releases a scent trail as you fish. Reapply through the day so the attractant stays fresh, especially after fighting a fish or a long trolling pass.

What fish does Bug Juice Gel Scent work on?

Bug Juice is dialed in for kokanee and trout across Western freshwater fisheries. Brett Brady built the formula around the specific attractant triggers those species respond to, which is why it earns a spot on dodgers, spinners, and soft baits when fish are following but not fully committing.

Why use a scent when trolling?

Scent turns followers into biters. Bug Juice adds a scent trail to your presentation so fish that track a lure commit to the strike instead of turning away. Brett Brady formulated the gel specifically for kokanee and trout, targeting the cues that push a hesitant fish over the edge.

What should I put Bug Juice on?

Apply Bug Juice to the Trigger Spoon before you drop it. A thin coat of gel adds a scent trail behind the spoon's flash and wobble, giving trout and landlocked salmon one more reason to commit. Refresh the scent each pass so the trail stays strong through the troll.
