I fished these on Lake Erie and caught bass all day long. They smell like chemical and scent. They apply a lot of scent to get hide the plastic smell. Just keep the baits out of the package and let the smell dissipate. Your left with just the scent smell. Some tails have some bend but was easily fixed by dipping in boiling water.
Very Soft. But sadly packaging needs improvement. Oil leaks out of Zip Pack
