    Who the heck came up with THIS idea??? I can't imagine sitting there fishing...and suddenly thinking it would be a good idea to spray my bait with oil! I mean...WHAT?? Not to mention that it goes into the water...that you're fishing from, and into the fish...that you're EATING.

    The company that makes WD-40 did, it has been on their things to do with WD-40 as far as I can remember. It is a staple item for fishermen/women here on Lake Erie, especially around Sandusky Ohio. Crazy, but it works......

    People that fish around here also use a product called "Kroil," made by Kano Labs. It is the absolute best gun and tool restorer I have ever found.... eats gunk, lead, copper out of guns and restores tools to their original base metal condition. For fishing, it tends to work better on Bass and Walleye than for other fish.

    LOL WD-40 is edible in small amounts and is approved for food grade use on mixers and other kitchen equipment......so I doubt a spray or two in the water is gonna contaminate any large body of water anytime soon. I would worry more about mercury and land based industrial poisons.

    I figure it had to be somebody that was pretty hungry....anyway....getting back to the WD-40,...there are catfishermen
    around here that swear by it tho I've never personally used it myself...just doesn't seem logical...anywho they say it's
    best in moving water as tho it delivers a trace of taste that fish that hunt in murky water will sample.................BH51...

    Originally WD40 used fish oil in its manufacture.
