Bass can be put off by scent as much as they can be attracted by scent? They can be repelled by insect repellent, tobacco smoke and chew so avoid these items when fishing.
Saltwater reels come in many varieties. When fishing for bass that can be found in brackish water, such as European Bass, be sure to use saltwater gear. Freshwater gear will rust up and fail before too long.
