Sat through several days of discussion on this on the FLYFISH mailing 
list in January, including reports from some folks who contacted the 
manufacturers. WD-40 contains petroleum distillates, PERIOD. No fish oil, 
no anise, no diddly. Just well-processed "dinosaur wine".

Does it work? Many people swear by it. Why does it work? Who knows, but 
not for any of the theories advanced here, except perhaps that, as a 
solvent, it removes a few things which might turn off the fish. Should 
you use it? Probably not.
