if the crabs are within a few feet it can be as soon as it hits the bottom, if they are outside the 6 ft circle then the smell attracts them so it could take a minute or two or as much time as the current spreads the scent trail.

after a scent trail is in the water its like chum and any crab passing it will follow the scent to your baits
