Thanks for your report. Glad to hear eucumbene is firing still. The WD 40 is very hard to believe but I may try it in Jindabyne next month.

Good old WD40

Catches fish

Stops hooks from rusting up

Also cleans your stainless steel kitchen appliances with ease.

Great stuff wonder if the creators knew of it's versatility

Gday Adznapper good to hear a freshwater report. I am thinking along the lines of dassazzj6 that WD-40 would not be the best for the environment. I think that lots of other things that slowly disperse and leave a trail of scent to a bait would also work, e.g. olive oil spray, and why not try stimulate ultrabite slow release spray. Cheers and good fishing Dave

I remember as a young bloke my old man used to give me a hell of a time if I put anything 'unnatural' anywhere near the bait or lure box! (Sunscreen,WD 40) :mad3:

The same bloke is now a strong advocate of WD 40 sprayed on his lures to entice Mr Murray Cod. He and my brother are catching good cod with mundane frequency and attribute this success to WD 40. (The fact that they spend more time 'on' the water than they do 'off' probably has a significant effect also :1prop: )

I used to soak cabbage weed in kerosene for drummer. Used to bring the fish on all the time. Don't know why it used to work....might try some WD40 on squid. Cheers Kelvin

Funny how this topic came up as I just received this today,,, enjoy

Water Displacement #40.

The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and

degreaser

To protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three

technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to Find a "water displacement" compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Corvair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you..

When you read the "shower door" part, try it. It's the first thing

That has ever cleaned that spotty shower door.If yours is plastic, it

Works just as well as glass.

It's a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop... Voila! It's now

shinierthan it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed

quickly! Use WD-40!

20) Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast

38) The favorite use in the state of New York WD-40 protects the

Statue of Liberty from the elements.

39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and

you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits

Or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.

40) Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately

and stops the itch.

41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.

42) Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has

washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!

43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace

the moisture and allow the car to start.

P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.

P. P. S. I keep a can of WD-40 in my kitchen cabinet over the stove. It is good for oven burns or any other type of burn. It takes the burned feeling away and heals with NO scarring.
