I cant for the life of me remember which mag i read it in Ken. It was a well known angler basically saying that he thought that any foreign smells on the hooklength, hookbait, tubing, etc would put the fish off. He didnt just say hand gels either, he mentioned marker pens, deodrants, aftershave, hand creams, sun block, insect repellant spray,etc. Basically anything that could get on your hands and leave a scent. Iam going to trawl through my magazines and try and find the article if its the last thing i ever do.

I too use an antibacterial gel when im fishing but recently read an artical that stated that there use was detremental to peoples catch rates due to the scent it left on your hookbait, pva bags, terminal tackle, etc. Cant remember where i read the article now. Dont get me wrong im not advocating that people should not use any form of hygeine, just that if possible they should seek methods other than alcohol based hand gels.
Great Thread, Very Informative
