Guy claims it gives a good scent that the fish like ! !
I watched him catch fish, claims he has told a few guides/pros about it and that it is a `secret' to many !
Anyone know/do/comment on this ?,.........its petroleum isn`t it ? ?

WD-40 is made from fish oil. Yes it is a fish attractant. LOL

WD-40 will work fine for a while, but when it evaporates it leaves a sticky residue on line and reel that must be cleaned before the reel will work again. It will ruin any o-rings it gets on.

The base for WD40 is Menhaden oil, this is why it works as an attractant. Don't know what it does to fishing line.

I'd be hesitant about spraying it on my line, but I'm game for adding it to my lure or bait

WD-40 stands for "Water Displacement 40th Attempt". NO its has NO FISH OILS IN IT - thats purely an urban legend !!! THE MSDS for WD-40 are 51% Stoddard solvent (i.e., mineral spirits: primarily hexane, somewhat similar to kerosene) 25% Liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant; carbon dioxide is now used instead to reduce WD-40's considerable flammability) 15+% Mineral oil (light lubricating oil) 10-% Inert ingredients unless the 10% inert ingredients are menhaden oil, highly doubtful This was developed for Convair for use in Nuclear rockets in the 1950's when fish lubricants were non-existant. Fish eat alka seltzer too, soap, cigarette butts, just goes to show rubes are born daily
