Nice to hear an echo on the red dressings. What're they officially called? Hook skirts or something? Yeppers

Any recommendations on a scent or DIY scent? Berkley Powerbait for me...

One more thing: lubing my knots with my spit. Do you guys do that? Would you think the smell of human saliva would deter fish? Only if I have to. The water is right there, use it. Human saliva is full of digestive enzymes, meant to break down material. Not that it would make a huge difference, I mean, 20 million anglers can't be wrong, but at least you know water won't affect your line.

Hope this helps
