I dont know what to do to get the smell off except run the hell out of the lures. I already picked up my Wileys at Dales shop that smelled up the truck and boat on the way fishing and caught fish on them the same day. I had this happen 3 or 4 times. Maybe they get a contact buzz and get hungry. The way this season is going I might have to spray a few lures with sealer before I put them out!! Good luck this weekend.
