The WD-40 company put out a disclaimer (years ago) stating that they do not condone the use of their product as a "fish attractant".

Rumor got out that it contained "fish oil" and that got the "attractant" use started. It has no such ingredient, but is basically petroleum based with benzene solvents according to the MSDS.
