Hi martin ive used herring scented oil before but thats pike fishing injecting the bait using a syringe. If i was making rubby dubby certainley id lash a bottle in for good measure. It definately does leave a trail,scent u can see the oil dispersing when u drop the bait in the water even after a few retrieves it still works! Suppose it doesnt do any harm using it so id say aye it does work to some extent

I have tried them before for sea fishing and did not see them making any difference. I injected them, dipped bait in them and fished 1 rod with,1 rod without and still nothing, so for me its a case of never again. I used Prawn , crab and mack oils in case u want to know. Cheers
