We all know the power of flavored corn. Find the right flavor and you are golden. Problem is that the flavors change as the year progresses. I suspect it has something to do with the temperature of the water that magnifies and enhances certain flavors.
Here is my line-up on what works based on years of using flavored maize. In cold water in early spring and late fall, go with fruity flavors. Flavors such as strawberry, Bait's Stop's Big Time Banana (very hot this spring), tuitti fruiti, and pineapple are all good flavors to use. In the summer time go with sweet flavors and alcohol based flavors. Sweet flavors such as scopex and Bait Stop's vanilla/butter/nut and anise work well in the summertime. Such alcohol based flavors such as Bait Stop's Wild whiskey and my homemade pineapple vodka worked well in the summer also.
None of this is set in stone and is a general guideline as to what I use when selecting flavored maize as well as sweet corn. I often carry lots of jars of flavored corn with me and keep changing if there are few hits.
One more note here. While flavored corn can often be the ticket to screaming alarms, it can also lead to dead fishing if you are using a flavor that is out of favor with the carp.
