Favorite scent?

I was fishing this weekend had a decent sized halibut attack my swimbait right after I lathered it in scent. I know that one fish isn't really enought to prove that scent is the key, but I was wondering if anyone would swear by a certain scent.

I'm a fan of Unibutter. Seems to work pretty good on tha bass. I have also used Hotsauce but think I prefer the butter. I agree that it seems pretty often that you get bit right after a fresh dose on the bait. Somedays it makes a bigger difference than others too. Just my 2 cents.

Unibutter all the way. Slather the butter, and improve your catches not just your bites. The Uni helps the fish stay where others may not. Don't leave home without your Unibutter.

Unibutter is a killer scent, last longer in saltwater. It's the only scent that works though. Bang is another explosive scent company too. The crawfish scent is killer on the sandbass when they are feeding on crab like they are right now. Pro-Cure is another good one. I like to inject hallow baits with it.

But scent does make a huge difference with the fish are not aggressive. Plus I find that hold onto the bait just a little longer as well.
