Pete Rickard Saltwater Easy EEL Scent Attractant for Striped Bass Lures

Enhance your lure with a natural eel aroma

Pete Rickard’s Saltwater Easy EEL Scent Attractant is a gel-based lure scent crafted from real grass eels, designed to complement striped bass and sturgeon fishing. This 2 oz squeeze bottle delivers a natural aroma that can accompany your favorite eel imitation lures, providing a convincing scent trail in the water. While scents don’t guarantee results, many anglers find that matching the natural forage of the water can help your lure feel more alive and inviting as it moves through the water.

With a focus on staying power, the Easy EEL gel adheres to lures and resists washing away with splashes, allowing you to spend more time fishing and less time reapplying. The product line includes freshwater and saltwater formulas, so you can choose the scent that best resembles the forage around your fishing grounds. The brand notes back to 1929 as a benchmark for established scent formulations, underscoring a long history of scent-based attractants in fishing.
