[#0000FF]The "myth" was that WD-40 was made with fish oil. As you know, it is not. It is made from petroleum distillates. Not good for humans or fishies.
But evidently you do not have any first hand experience with WD-40 as a fish attractant. Whatever it is made of appeals to fish of several species. I have personally witnessed cases of the fish responding much more favorably to lures or baits with a squirt of the WD-40 vs the same lures or baits on the same trip...not treated. There are still some goobers who use that stuff in spite of the warnings against it. All they care about is that it seems to help them catch more fish. And when they are able to outfish their fishing buddies by a factor of 10-1...with no other variables...that is enough for them.
