The patented, hi-tech formula of Carolina Lunker Sauce Freshwater Pro-Gel is exclusively designed to for use with hard baits. Pro-Gels create a time release bond with crank baits, jerk baits, top water plugs and spoons and do not float to the surface like oils. Pro-Gels are water-soluble and leave a scent trail in the water column for 20 casts or more and out fish the competition at least 3+ to 1.In comparison to competitive products Carolina Lunker Sauce Pro-Gel is completely different in form and function; it actually sheds off the hard bait as it is retrieved. Competitive petroleum based products stick to the bait and do not shed, thus eliminating a scent trail and greatly reducing the effectiveness of the product. Not to mention the greasy mess they leave on your hard baits!
