WD40 Bait additive

Amazingly, the ultimate bait additive, particularly to mackerel and including fresh mackerel for a wide variety of species ranging from gurnards and rays through to tope is WD40. Seeing is believing. This film also demonstrates the versatility of the ABU Suveran combination boat rod.

Your better off buying those soft cod liver oil capsules, and threading a couple on the shank of your hook

@dfg297lpopdirk

What a good idea. I'll mention that in next weeks blog, and if you drop me your name and where you come from I'll credit you with the suggestion.

And WD40 doesn't "tease" out oil from the fish, it's got fish oil in it you stupid fucks.

Use BAIT to catch fish (it's tasty food for fish) not lubricant with fish oil in it, and what's with pulling the fish out of the water by the hook?? & then shaking it with a disgorger on!!! Have you never heard of a landing net and TLC, I'm a fisherman & this vid is fucking disgusting, you have absolutely no regard for the fish at all, what's the use of putting it back if it's been half beat to death. Anglers? More like danglers.

WD40 is toxic, mate! Cod liver oil works as good :)

@Matthington10

Yes.

A hunting license can be permanently revoked by a state for using illegal methods (such as poaching), so can a fishing license. It's no different than losing your driver's license if you get convicted of a serious enough offense. Recreational and commercial fishermen do sometimes get permanent bans if they screw up badly enough.

@logik316 Banned from fishing for life? lol

[logik316]

From a legal standpoint, you may as well be pouring motor oil into the water. I once heard of a guy who got stopped by a conservation officer, fined up the yin-yang, and was banned from fishing for life for using that stuff on his bait. You're better off using natural food-grade alternatives that smell a lot like WD-40 and have also been proven to attract fish - such as mint, vanilla, or anise extract.

This stuff is illegal to use here in Alaska. Not sure if its environmental or not.

WD-40 is also a water displacer (hence the name.)

When fishing salt water, as long as you don't get it into the reel itself, it will help keep metal reels from rusting on the outside. And as long as you remember to regrease your reels afterwards, is fine for cleaning saltwater reels.

Fish ARE attracted to WD-40, unfortunately tho, it also pollutes the water. It's a petroleum distillate.
