Has anyone heard or tried using WD-40 on lures as an attractant?

WD-40 stands for "water displacement perfected on the 40 attempt" by a couple of guys in San Diego. My friend down the road told me that it was a "God Send" when he was in Vietnam. It helped to keep the guns working properly; too much humidity and gunk when crawling around.

Displacement, not "dispersal", you are correct, I misspoke.

It is also illegal here in California
It is illegal any where in the United States as it is a federal pollution law.

Have a friend who refuses to use Powerbait, still-fishin for trout... only uses Velveeta with a squirt of WD-40. Catches a lot of trout.
A 2-stroke motor pollutes in 20 minutes about 10x what a day's worth of WD-40 squirts do !
My go-to is ProCure scents.... oil, water-based, and the "new" BaitWax.... check them out, they all work well.

Sounds like that might work. Next time I fish Folsom for Cats, I will give it a try.

WD40 does work as an attractant, and for the record it’s been deemed food safe by the FDA, most restaurant owners use it on they’re equipment.

Here’s a link to the MSDS (material safety data sheet) for the product. No fish oil.

Yes, however, that poisons water. No bueno.
