I find chum can be particular to colour. At certain times jigs of any of Pink, Chartreuse, Cerise, and Fuschia may be the killer colour.
When you get it right you will catch a chum every cast. I can't see how scent will help.

bang on!....... i rarely catch chum on roe and throwing on a jig is suicide for them. Find a good piece of water, i prefer nice walking speed water and stay away from moldy chum area. like seriously a decent coloured chum that hasn't spawned yet will hammer any jig in its path. Putting on ur lures/bait is half the work, finding them (literally...everywhere) and timing is the critical part, whether the bite turns on and fresh looking chum will hammer away.

Make sure you have plenty! Ive had to cut a few out cause the fish took it down so deep. Last weekend I had a really fresh one take it down so much I couldn't see the jig! They will tear through them and chew into your line as well. If all else fails bring some pink and purple duct tape and put a few strips under the jig head and you can catch em like that too!

Tip with small tidbits of raw prawn, the best place to get it is at Superstore, 10 bucks for a very big bag.
In all honesty, chop up your prawns into minute pieces and tie into sacks like you would roe bags, this is the best bang for your buck.

Pre-soak your favorite color wool in your favorite scent, I use Mikes. Tie bait loop onto favorite hook and add scent soaked wool as desired.

A jig with a chunk of a prawn is deadly for chum. Find a spot with moving or fresh fish and its going to be a fish a cast. I usually run 20lb leader when using this setup for chums. They have those dang teeth and they're so aggressive the leader doesn't scare them away.

Great tip, I'll try that.

Once you find out what colour/pattern jig chums are dialed in for that day/run, not much need for scent.
Fresh run ones will hammer them pretty much non-stop.
Earlier this month while fishing for coho, I used a nightmare jig and had chums hitting it on every cast until I took it off in a hurry.

Ive found that they inhale anything with pautzke cure on it. heck, you could put that cure on toilet paper or a small sponge and they will smash it
