I, like most people use scent too. Regardless of whether or not they work for the fish, they work for me. Basically, the most important thing in fishing is, does it sell? If the answer is "yes", then people will use it.
Granted, I know it's not the most important factor, but scent is a HUGE thing in the animal kingdom. It's the one thing that triggers such a sharp memory response when we walk by a bakery or smell a dish your grandmom/dad/mom would make. It's a primal response. I mean, before you can even pin point what the smell is, your mind automatically jumps to "Damn! That smells good/bad".
The way I see it, if an intellectually advanced species like us has that kind of a response, think of how much stronger the response is for a species of animal who migrates thousands of miles to spawn at their hatching river after spending years in the ocean using - what we humans understand - is mainly their sense of smell....
Just saying.
