WD40 Pike Attractor

[Harry]

Hi. I have heard of people using WD40 as a Pike attractor.

Anyone know why Pike would be attracted to WD40?

BTW, I am not saying I agree/dis-agree with it's use, just interested in why
it would improve the catch rate. If it does?

This is a new one to me. I suppose if you hooked a pike and it got round a
snag then a squirt of WD-40 could get your Esox Loosius.

New to me aswell. And aroused sceptism for me. I heard about it at
www.pikeforum.co.uk

I remember reading something similar about sea anglers using it on their
baits too.

I've heard this too, and I use it on my lures for it's original
purpose. Trouble is, I catch so few fish to make any judgement!
Could the attraction be its stink?
