Last winter my brother and I were ice fishing at Strawberry. While he was cutting up some chub he nicked a finger. The bleeding was (relatively) profuse. He went right ahead, baiting up with bloody fingers. His catch rate improved a lot. We both decided it wasn't worth it to purposely cut ourselves to get the hot scent of the day. But if YOU are that crazy, let us know how it works 
.
FWIIW another time at Strawberry I was fishing near a guy who I understood was a DWR employee. He was pulling in a fish every time he dropped a baited hook down the hole. I began to watch to see what he was doing. He was spraying something on each bait. It sure looked like a WD-40 can but I can't say for sure.

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
