i heard that it used to contain fish oil like 20 years ago or somthing?

If that is the reason of using it, wouldn't it be easier just to smear some fish oil on the lure?

And yes I am worried, if every one who is fishing Fraser right now would do that the river would get a nice glowing tint.

I have guide friends that dip their plug cut herring in WD-40.  They swear by it.

For all of you concerned about it polluting our waters, I sure hope you don't fly fish.
Fly Floatant is pretty much oil too(ever notice the slick it leaves behind). May as well put some WD-40 on your fly (who knows it might work).
As far as it working I have no idea... have seen guys using it during Steelhead season and HAVE seen it produce behind other people so who knows.
