Hammer Sauce Bait Scent by Fred Klinshaw

Hammer Sauce Bait Scent adds a scent option to the soft plastics you already fish. Created and tested by professional guide Fred Klinshaw, this 3 oz bottle is a straightforward addition to a freshwater tackle kit, especially when worms and other soft baits are central to your bass-fishing approach.

Give Your Soft-Plastic Presentation Another Option

When a familiar worm presentation needs a change, switching the entire rig isn't your only option. Hammer Sauce lets you add scent while keeping your chosen bait profile and rig. Think of it as a complement to good lure placement and a controlled retrieve, not a substitute for finding fish or matching their feeding activity.

A Good Match for Slower Presentations

Consider it for drop-shot worms, Ned rigs and Texas-rigged soft plastics. These are useful starting points when you're working a defined piece of cover, pausing near the bottom or slowing down around pressured bass. Calm conditions and deliberate retrieves make it easier to keep your presentation consistent while trying a scent addition.

Best for: freshwater bass anglers fishing soft-plastic worms, finesse rigs and bottom-oriented presentations. Choose it when you want a separate scent bottle for your existing baits rather than replacing them with a different lure. The trade-off is an extra application step; scent alone doesn't guarantee a bite.

Keep the Bait, Add the Scent

• Designed for use with soft-plastic fishing baits.
• Created and tested by professional guide Fred Klinshaw.
• Separate bottle lets you choose which baits receive scent.
• 3 oz bottle for your tackle bag or boat storage.

Bottle & Product Details

Pair It with Your Favorite Soft-Plastic Presentation

For a compact bottom-fishing option, pair your scent kit with the Roboworm Ned Worm. For a worm presentation with a curly-tail profile, consider Roboworm 4 1/2-inch Curly Tail Worms. For a soft-plastic minnow profile, add the Basstrix Flash Trix 4-inch Soft Plastic Minnow to your lineup. Match the hook and rig to the bait, depth and cover, and follow the bottle's application directions.

Tackle Express Tips

• Change one thing at a time. Keep the bait, depth and retrieve consistent when trying scent so you can judge the presentation more clearly.
• Stay deliberate. On a drop-shot or Ned rig, use controlled movements and pauses rather than constantly moving the bait away from the target.
• Protect your tackle bag. Secure the bottle closure after use and store it upright in a separate pouch.
