Hog Tonic®

I started using Hog Tonic 3 years ago. I have caught more fish then ever before. And I have caught some of the biggest fish since using it. I use it on all my plastic and when I fish with someone who does not use it I always come out on top. THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!!! And I have the pictures to prove it!

I put this stuff over most of my soft baits

I started using this when I won a custom box in a tournament last year. It quickly became my go to scent. Fish crush a lure with a bit of Hog Tonic on it. Beware though, if you, like me leave rods in your car with lures attached to them, you will have that wonderful smell when you open the car door. Added bonus, we don't use my car for family trips anymore, my wife would prefer to ride in a car that doesn't smell like Hog Tonic!!!!!!! Great stuff!!!!!!

Have not used it yet as the ice just got off the river here in SW WI. To explain how strong the smell is the day the package came in the mail some in one of the bottles leaked and absorbed into the package. My wife picked up the package and put it in her car and drove up the drive. She sat it in the garage. I arrived home from work opened the garage door had my windows up on the truck and could smell it instantly. So if that is any indication of how good it is it should attract the fish for miles. Oh ya the bottles were wrapped in plastic bags too.

I'll never know if it was the tonic or the day, but pulled in a nice 18" smallmouth the first day I used the stuff with ease, and several smaller ones around 11-12". As others state, it doesn't attract fish to the lure, but they sure don't want to let go.

Ok here's what I have learned and what I know. This is not an attractant so to speak where it will draw in fish from all around. However, I have found that using Hog Tonic when the fish are acting a little finicky and don't really want to commit makes a huge diffrence. I use it in many diffrent applications. My favorites are finesse fishing. Wacky rig trick worms with Hog Tonic is deadly. I also use it on all the craw and grubs I fish. I believe the fish truely like the taste it puts on the baits and they hold onto the bait much longer which allows you to truely feel the bite that may be subtle at first. I also think it would work on any freshwater fish to include pike, waleye, and other northern fish I don't get to fish for. I will be honest with this review and say there are two downsides. It takes a lot to get the smell out of clothing if you get it on you but that's what makes it work. Also, don't get it on the sides of your boat because it is really tough to get off. I have a small thick towel on my boat that I use when I put it on. Just change out the 3 dollar towel every once in a while. To conclude, I love Hog Tonic and would buy it by the gallon if sold that way.

smells like a pizza shop on steroids ,but slam catches them....

Kills the bass here in Minnesota, I'm hoping it will work for walleye to. This stuff is so strong, my rod tip actually stinks of it.

my mailbox smelled of hog tonic for three days :-)
