Scent question

Garlic scent is often recommended for trout, but what is effective for other fish?

Are bass scent sensitive? If so, what scent/ scents?

Also are panfish scent sensitive?

I see a ton of different scents on the shelves and I know some are for saltwater fishing but what are the recommended scents for freshwater and the species they are most effective for?

Thanks in advance.

Finally, first fish of 2026

Been out on and off since March but have been skunked mercilessly.

Today my luck changed and I landed one fish. Did not measure or weigh it but looks to be 14 or 15 inches. Pretty fat also.

On my ultralight with a 4 lb leader she gave me a good fight.

Daiwa Presso with a JDM Legalis, 6lb braid to 4lb flouro.

I forget what the lure is called but it is about 4 inches long.

Had been throwing a white curly tail grub and a hellgrammite plastic from Eurotackle. The hellgrammite got a couple of strikes but I could not set the hook. The white curly tail got nothing.
