Re: wd40 as fish attractant
I have heard about using WD40 but have never tried it. I never used any attractant until last summer.<br /><br />LF uses White Diamonds hand lotion. I thought she was BSing me at first. After several outings where she severly outfished me I started watching what she was doing. After putting a live shrimp on her hook she rubbed the shrimp on the back of her hand. We were fishing for speckled trout in about 7 foot of water. When the count got to her 5, me 0 I asked her to rub my shrimp. I cast the line and the bait wasn't down 2 feet before a nice spec hit it. I continued to use her method that afternoon and had much better luck than ever before.<br /><br />A few days later I was telling a fisherman friend about it. He didn't believe it. He said we had just gotten into a school and the they were feeding. About 2 weeks later he pulled alongside our boat and anchored. LF was catching specs, sand trout & whiting on almost every cast. I was having my usual so-so luck not using her lotion. He made a comment about her catching the most fish. I told him "watch this" and had her rub my shrimp on her hand. First cast, immediate results, 20" Spec.<br /><br />He was using artificials and had probably thrown 30 times without a hit. As a joke he tossed his lure to our boat and asked LF to rub it on her hand. She did and returned the lure to him. His first cast was slammed almost as soon as it hit the water, 23" spec. <br /><br />The odd thing is that it doesn't seem to work if I put the lotion on my hands. It has to be on her hand. She has tried other lotions but none seem to work, only White Diamonds. Worst part is you have to buy a gift box with perfume and stuff to get the lotion. $60.00 a pop.
