re: What is the best scented bait for specks?

I rarely fish with scented bait because I can't stand the smell of it and I always seem to spill that damn bucket that the berkley gulp comes in (but it has worked for me when I've ran out of life bait and had trouble getting bites on other artificial's). Since its supposed to be the closest thing to live bait I usually fish it as if it were life bait, but rattling corks seem to be the best bet due to the noise since it's still artificial, I prefer to give it as much of a life representation as possible. That's just my general opinion, plenty of people have different methods that work, especially considering tides, water depth, current, etc. are what ultimately result in the style of fishing.

I don't usually throw scented bait-
But when I do,
I throw Berkley Gulp...
