Wd-40

The theory for #39 seems sound. I know that the most effective bait for catching lobsters happens to be a common red brick soaked in kerosene.

True on 39, years ago I went fishing with a guy I worked with. He saw me spraying some wd around my tacklebox and said "dude your not gonna catch anything now with that all over your stuff" well I proceded to land some nice keeper Redfish and released a couple Bull Reds. Which was more then he landed. He could not believe it.
