mountainmadness Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I don't know if you want something typical or something unique.... most of the fisherman's soap that I have seen for sale is always scented with anise EO.HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Yup, a typical fishermen soap is scented with anise eo, claims are the fishermen rub their hooks and hands with it it'll attrach fish. A typical kitchen soap is odor removing, like Gene said - with coffee. The coffee scent doesn't come through, but for some weird reason it really works!

Gene Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Anise EO is one of the oldest fish attractants. It was illegal to use in 11 states until around 1970. The first commercial fish attractant spray was called "FISH FORMULA" and was anise EO in a carrier oil. Not only is it appealing to fish,it helps cover human odors.

violetmoondrops Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I have to agree. If you're looking for a true fisherman's soap ... go with Anise Oil! My uncle (an avid fisherman and guide) uses the pure Anise oil on all of his fishing supplies (and himself). From what he says, it truly works!

However, if ya can't stand the smell and you want something that will still get rid of nasty odors (ie: gas, oil, onion, varnish, etc .....) then use old strong leftover coffee for you liquid. I make it and sell alot. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sudsnwicks Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I've been told lemon and coffee grounds are effective for getting rid of the stench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I beleive they are talking about getting rid of the human stench not the fish stench. Fishermans soap masks the human smell for better fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
