LeRoy_Metz Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 A buddy of mine told me he sprays WD40 on his lures when he ice fishes.He claims it attracts fish.Any body ever use WD40 for attracting fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmonica Bear Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 People have been doing that for years, not so good for the lake though. Definitely not environmentally correct in our world today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ec30_06 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I spray my abu garcia reels with it about once a month to keep em clean and lubed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuskieJunkie Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 A lot of people do it, I think the old formula had fish oil in it, but the formula now days does not. There are so many other fish attractants/scents out there I don't really see the need to use it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efgh Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 If you want a oil for attracking sunnies, use the oil out of a sardine can after you eat the sardines, just a few drops in a small wax worm box is all you need. sounds dumb but it works,you can put the oil and small sardine pieces in a small bottle and dip plastics in it too.

minneman Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Forget the WD40, use ear wax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickeywing Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 WD40 has banana oil.Preporation H has shark oil.Way back, my buddy and I were trolling identical lures. He was using WD40 on his and he outfished me 3-1. It works. Not so good for the lake.TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddog Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I bet it Displaces a lot of Water. Even though I would assume it's overwhelmed. You know, Water Displacer #40. Never mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
