Grey Wolf Posted January 13, Just the dumb ones did this. It'd surprise me if WD40 helps to attract fish but I'll bet you wouldn't have any rusty hooks.
Catt Posted January 13, You and I have had our own discussions. We good. Anglers in Utah have been using WD40 for decades I have seen that it does work very well at times. DWR has not specifically outlawed it but they do frown on it. I do not know of any citations issued to anyone using it And until recently, corn was also outlawed Chummers also illegal were covering the bottom of the lake with corn I asked all the ones checking the boats at LB this year.
And I told them when I got back how many fish I had caught, and shared my methods. And they all have said they don't care. Some said they use it. Do you actually think it is worse than any boat on the water and the almost constant slick coming off them? I fail to see the problem. If I actually thought any of the oil from all the boats, or all my WD, was hurting the catfish at Utah Lake, then I would be ok with going electric motors only.
I would just need a pontoon big enough for me and my dog. Randy, just be glad this isn't California where many if not all by now, lakes and rivers have outlawed most 2 stroke marine motors.

Still, I am not sure you will be able to predict what side I am coming down on in the end! First item to note that that few of our "teachers" have the intellect they claim.
If they were as smart we would want them to be, they would have gone to work for someone that pays better. Second item to note is that when a company tells us something they are like politicians, we are getting only part of the truth, the truth as they want us to see it. So, I will provide you what I have learned through my own resources, and through verification with multiple sources. I encourage you to do the same.
What you will get is a lifetime summary so no footnotes this time. I actually learn more when I find I am wrong. Salt was indeed added to plastics to replace plastic, but if you ever tried molding with salt you would find that first and foremost, it makes plastic harder, not softer; a softener must also now be added. It is in itself cheaper than plastisol, but it is a serious pain in the back side to add, mix, and suspend for molding.
Gary Yamamato made the salted bait famous but he added it to make plastisol heavier. Without salt, plastisol floats and only a heavy hook will sink it; with salt, it sinks more reliably. Actually, the added cost in time and equipment is more expensive than the replaced plastisol.
I am sure that Berkley left that part out because they were not willing to pay royalties for the process Patent , a process that Gary had to pay for as well.
The fact that marketers figured that salt taste good to humans sure did not help any. In my observations , two identical baits, one with and one without, salt will cause fish to hold on longer to the salted bait, but I see no actual increase in the attractiveness of it.
PS, yes, I do inject many of my own soft plastics and PM me for the best ratios and types of salt for more details. As for Garlic, I mention to my customers that I have never ever seen a garlic clove growing in water, or a marshmallow, or Nevertheless, the same company, Berkley, makes Powerbait flavored with Garlic or corn or marshmallow, or So, if it does not work, why ad it and advertise it? So many customers claim it has proven more effective then the other flavors in the exact same color, used side by side, that it leads one to question if they are all wrong.
It leads me to either invalidate all Berkley claims, or at least believe they found their test were invalid and have revised their opinion. In fact, that is like telling us that you must have clouds for it to rain. Any of us with a little age and experience in the outdoors knows that we have been rained on with sunny skies.
The truth is that the rain may have blown miles from the clouds, so in part it is true. Oil and water seem to not mix, but that is not completely true. It looks like they don't but if you go to any good handbook of physics and chemistry you can find that rate that specific oils dissolve in water, disperse in water, an dilute in water.
You can also find the rates that water will do the same in oil. It IS true that oil does not dissolve a lot in water, and that it can take a long time, but it will.
So, the argument that fish cannot detect an oil based scent is incorrect, but the statement that water based scents will be stronger is also true. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of a scent may not be related to the strength, but to the quality of the scent. Claims to the contrary are marketing hype at best.
Methane is a pollutant, as is Carbon Dioxide, so you must go kill yourself, because I know you fart and breat h. Most of everything we do creates pollutants and most pollutants are recycled by nature. The same is true for every living creature on earth, human or otherwise; only the amount and intent, if any, is in question.
The whole issue of how much is to much, and is our impact too great, is a tough one. I would say that we should leave it to smarter minds, but in reality, the Politicians we vote for seldom have IQ's greater than below normal IMHO!
I have seen WD used for fishing. Most of the time I do not find it overly persistent, and indeed less than the surplus oils from boat trailers and motors. I have seen shad oil slicks that were far more extensive and persistent. Is there a difference in oil derived from shad, sardines, chub, or dinosaurs?
I know that we can refine and purify dino oil and it is called gas, but it is actually quite natural. Nevertheless, too much is too much. Too much water will kill you. Too much oxygen can kill you. To much fishing can kill you. I do not advocate giving citations for using WD as a fish attractant, just as I don't advocate giving citations for using commercially based , biologically sourced, oil based attractants! Nevertheless, I do advocate personal responsibilit y in using WD I would encourage personally restricting the amount of it, and I would discourage promoting it in public call it your own personal secret weapon.
I also do not advocate making personal attacks against anyone using it. To much of what we do, our rights, are being eroded by self proclaimed experts based on overreaching group think. Let's use a little respect for personal rights, a little real science, a little common sense. Let's prove the old adage wrong , the one that says "common sense ain't so common anymore"!

One reason on corn being outlawed due to chumming and misuse was that fish would gorge up on it and it would not digest in its whole kernel form and could kill the fish. Not sure if any of that is true some fish chows have corn in them, but they are processed , AM Anglinarcher Wrote: Reply From Mildog: Great points from all and a civil discussion, from all which is good.
No offense meant or taken from any posts. I agree with much of what you said as well. I agree with what the other Pat said tube Dude The one part I forgo t to mention on the Berkley researcher. I then asked hi m why they sell garlic flavored stuff. His answer was simple people BUY it so we make it. I hope you find value in the articles on this website. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or input! My dad was a fisherman, my husband is a fisherman, so fish just seem to present themselves for cooking at my house on a regular basis.
The two things about frying fish that have been taught to me First off, a disclaimer: You will probably not learn many real-life survival skills from my selections on this list. Just watching "Naked and Afraid" or "Alone" are much better for that. Instead, I Skip to content A rumor has been around for years that spraying WD40 on a lure will attract fish. These include: Protecting your fishing gear- Applying WD40 to all of your fishing gear will leave a coat of oil that will protect the gear for the next use.
The moisture, humidity, and water that your gear is exposed to is the perfect recipe for rust damage. Regular application of WD40 can help prevent these from happening. Clean your gear- WD40 is an effective cleaner, as the oil-based spray loosens and removes dirt and grime.
Use it to clean your fishing gear of sticky liquids and saltwater. Remove grease and fish oil stains from your clothes- WD40 can break down and displace grease and oil stains. Just apply to your clothes, rub in thoroughly, let it sit for a few minutes and run through a normal wash cycle. Treat your gear at the beginning of the season- After a winter in the garage, your gear is going to be stiff and stuck.
Use a liberal application to free up these tight pants and protect your gear for the upcoming season. Reapply throughout the season as needed. Search titles only. Search Advanced search…. New posts.

I use it all the time especially when fishing plugs in the Columbia river mostly just to clean them after switching plugs don't want the sardine wrap stinking them up hey Charlie was that you in Auburn sports the other day?
