Guys,
If you're trying to catch fish that are conditioned to eat pellets why would you want to use something that smells different?
Seems to me match the hatch applies here.
I have had brown trout in a pond to 12 pounds that would not touch a nitecrawler or minnow. Wanted nothing to do with them. But as soon as you throw out the pantyhose pellet all hell breaks loose. And I can also tell you flies or pieces of foam tied to look like a pellet were not very effective without the scent.
