S-Factor

These days there’s no disputing that effective attractants and scents significantly improve your catch rates when using lures. Squidgies new Pro Range with S-Factor is at the cutting edge of this revolution.

Just recently we spent time on the mighty Hawkesbury River targeting the monster blue-nose bream that inhabit the area. We were bouncing little softies down the deep rock walls that flank the river. We tested the new S-Factor scent against the popular Gulp products to see if it cut the angling mustard. We also trialed the new Squidgys range of lures without the application of S-Factor and the results were plainly obvious. We landed cricket scores of bream with the lures that had S-Factor applied to it and very ordinary results on the plastics without. Even the Gulp lures were out-fished by a margin of 5 to 1. Add to this by-catch of mulloway and a massive sea mullet and early indications are the S-Factor scent is light years ahead of the competition. Re-application of S-Factor scent is recommended every 15 casts or so for best results.

The theory behind the S-Factor product is based on a fishes highly advanced sense of taste. After vigorous testing by none other than Dr Ben Diggles it seems our local species respond better to scents that are water soluble than those based around fish oils and pheromones. Research suggests a fish can taste the S-Factor without even having it in its mouth, as long as it’s within close range.

While the science can convince us the S-Factor has it sorted out, it’s the runs on the board that ultimately prove its worth. But if you ask the tournament guru’s if they reckon this stuff works then see how often they apply it to their lures during competition!

Welcome!

Hey Fishos,

Today is an exciting day for me. I have wanted to start a web log for while now but laziness and lack of time combined has retricted me from doing so.... Fact is i had to get off my arse and make it happen! As they say humble beginings....

Want i want to do is report all the new stuff that pops up on the fishing scene i.e new techniques that are being used in tournaments, new lures that are coming on the scene and any other tackle tid bits that every discerning angler will find important... Also i will be reporting on any fishing trips i take and give you guys a play by play breakdown as i unlock new fisheries locally and progress reports on how i am going perfecting certain lures...

Fact is you can never really perfect anything in fishing, too many variables for that to be a possibility. But what we can achieve is a better stike rate and more consistant success. Hopefully what i would like to do is fast track your learning curve by allowing me to do some of the monotonous groundwork needed to crack consistent patterns. But in the end figuring it all out is half the fun and most of the satisfaction.

So come along for the ride. If your a fishing nut like me, and like anything fishing, you will like hearing from a grass-roots fisherman, no bullshit and no biased comments. I am not linked to any tackle company and call it how i see it...

Kevvie.
