Sleepy, thanks for the tip on the Fluid Film product. Ive never heard of it.

Gonna get me some for work and test it out!

Yeah, Ken, the idea that WD-40 is a "secret" fish attractant has persisted for a long time. This usually stems from the erroneous belief that it contains fish oil.

The manufacturer, however, emphatically denies that and their published MSDS does not support it. They even have a warning on their website beseeching people not to use it as such. But the belief in its almost magical powers remains strong. Im betting the bass liked something else about your dads offerings, other than the WD-40.

Hi I just found out about fluid film its in a spray can as well as Quart and gallon this is great stuff and its environment safe I used this on my new boat trailer axle and hubs and any thing that might rust. great for cars trucks too. Sleepy

i wipe it down thoroughly. it does evaporate but im sure it does leave a film. i do care about the environment and i do try to leave a small footprint where ever i go.that was one of the positive bullets on my list with buying a four stroker instead of rebuilding my two stroke.

i remember as a kid my dad spraying down his purple worms wit wd 40 and catching bass like crazy... lol

PS WD-40 is not environmentally benign. It is made of machine oil, mineral spirits, surfactants and perfumes. Petrochemical Joy, in other words.

I'D like to caution you against adding it to the water systems via your boat trailer.

I use the Armor All too, Ken.
Did you know WD-40 was originally formulated in the 1950's as a corrosion preventive for missile systems?
It means:
W - water
D - displacing
40 - 40th version
(contrary to populist lore, it contains NO fish oil)

Ok, that's what I was thinking.  I've heard of that trick before.

i wipe down all my rods and reels with armor all a couple times a year... even spray down all my braid on the spools. my stuff looks and feels new. never any oxidation issues and also protects against uv damage.spray down my boat trailer with wd 40 ... i mean everything... the trailer is a year and a half old and there is no oxidation even on the bare hardware.

And if for any reason you should run out of nose grease, you can use behind the ear grease, and in extreme emergencies you can rub the
Ferrule on your favorite person of the female persuasion. ... Haha

Yes Allen. You can rub a ferrule on your forehead, cheek, scalp, etc. for the same effect.
And as Paul notes, these lubricant sources are always with you!
