adznapper Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 2 Mates of mine just spent two night there,with a total of 15 rainbows all around a kg,plenty of bites on power bait, mudeyes wieghted and the odd bite on scrub worms. I will let u on a little secret of mine,Spray your baits with wd 40, hard to believe I know but I have been doing it for years(freshwater only). After they ran out of wd 40 on the first night, only 2 fish were cought with out wd 40 the next day and night. dont believe me try it.. Any one else out there tryed some strange stuff that works let me know.
Guest dicko1 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Iv heard of this guy in WA that soaks his pillies in kerosene for a few hours before he uses them and apparently he catches a heap... i think i heard this from gary brown at a fishing seminar...! its crazy how stuff like that works when we'r all being careful with suncream ay!!
dazzassj6 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 wa da hell isnt that like soo toxic the environment? well the fish are attracted to these scent cuz it stimulates them, very much how petrol's scent is sooo attractive to us humans lol.
Guest DV8 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Adznapper 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. Davo
Dalucius Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 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
gibodfisho Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 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
Guest Plastic Fanatic Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 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) 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 )
namesay Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 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
spic Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 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!

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.
