suzook12 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Yes, have heard of this before, and tried it, cant say whether results were any better or not. Used on lug baits in this area.... Haven't used it for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it wasn't a distinct fish a chuck compared to blanking. If there was a difference it was very subtle. Same as the video, as both were doing it, hard to tell if it made a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 It’s an old theory, some say it makes the bait dissolve into the water faster or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was something to do with the scent and the fact that WD40 is made from fish oil ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I think but don’t know/care if it’s fish oil or some type of vegetable oil. Whatever it is it soon washes off anything that it’s meant to protect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Apparently it was developed by the Military for spraying on munitions. Another great military invention along with superglue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WD-40 addresses the myth on its website, saying: “While WD-40 can be used to help protect fishing equipment from rust and corrosion, WD-40 Company does not recommend using it to attract fish.

Doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. That will just be their legal sentence to shrug off any responsibility involving any potential pollution claims.

JDP Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 An Irish friend of my dads told him that wd40 would help with hair loss!!!!!!....the same fella told him that green cream you put on animal cuts promoted hair growth!!! Yes my dad used both. I would not recommend using wd40 on any fishing reels as the penetrating oil removes grease from the reels leaving them exposed.
