Some of the Plastic Veterans could likely give a much better explanation (along with comparisons) than I can, as these Vets have been "in the game" much longer than I have when it comes to using different scents in/on Soft Plastics...but here goes...
I smell a few Critters in this...a little Craw scent, mildly similar to other "Craw" scents I've checked out, but with a hint of Live Craw...Real Earthworms, an aroma I'm very familiar with, as I grew up digging worms for bait...and a strong Frog smell, real Frog, not someone's idea of what they think a Frog should smell like.
A fish is gonna sniff this Juice and it's brain is gonna short-circuit. He's gonna throw his fins up in that "I don't know" look, and when he does his mouth is gonna open and unwillingly or not, suck the bait in. This Toad Xplode is K-I-L-L-E-R. I can't wait 'til I get back in my shop when the next CCM box shows up, work-up the new colors, then may have to fish in the rain.
(I saw You raise Your hands)...(yes, You have a WebCam)
Seriously, this is good stuff. I like it better than the Menhaden Oil I scent with. Jason was right, Toad Xplode describes the way it smells, quite well...it smells like a Frog, that must've been eating Worms and Crawfish. Get a bottle, Fella's. If You don't believe me, get 1...if You do believe me, You might want to get 2 (think back to Your 1st gallon of CCM plastic). I'm going to start mixing 1 TSP in 8-10 oz.s of plastic...that should be enough, a fish has a good sense of smell, just as they have good eye-sight, and I'll increase the Toad Xplode Dosage if I feel it's necessary.
"Take one'a deez and go fishin' in da mawnin"!

Yeah,But how's it taste?

Like Prematurely Microwaved Frog Legs, of course! It's Toad Xplode!
-
And please remember, my experience with scent(s) is limited so You'll need to try Toad Xplode for Yourself and make Your own determination on what it really smells like to You. To me, it smells like alot of things, those which I've listed...froggy and wormy with a smidge of craw, but I'ma keep sniffin' the bottleneck and will report back with any updates, so stay tuned!

Another detail...it's a Natural scent, not synthetic/medicated smellin'.

Who makes Toad Xplode? I did a google search and the only hits were from this post...

A short while back, Upper Hand Scents teamed up with CCM and came out with this flavor. Jason had a contest on this forum to name it, and we all found out very quickly how creative Gary Mr. Bare Knuckle Jigs is. I should find the post for you so you can see all the creative names peeps came up with. I love the brains that hang out around here. Good stuff.
