Any one ever use WD40 on hot dogs for catfish? Some of my Dads friends say they do real well on them. I have never used the WD40 part, but get lots of catfish and gills on them cheap dogs.

as a kid I used to use those cheap red hotdogs for catfish in farm ponds, but never any WD40 on it. Used to get alot on them too. I might try it, but wiat untill I had a cooler full first.
I have used those little smokie sausage cut up, they stay on the hook better to me.
Hotdogs have worked for me in some spots,others not a bite.
I've heard about the wd-40,not being a prude,but thats just introducing a pollutant/petroleum product into the eco-system.
Preperation_H used to have some type of fish/whale/oil/blubber in it..some swore by it also.
I think there are better choices than wd-40.

we use wd-40 and alot of garlic salt on hot dogs jugging on the mississippi river and it works well.
An old friend of mine would not go fishing with out WD-40. He mostly fished for White Perch with jigs and sprayed WD-40 on his jigs. He caught lots and lots of W.Ps doing this. In fact I would venture to say he caught more than anyone else, most days.
Wd-40 is a fish oil based product. That is why it works. Maybe it is primarely a petroleum base, but has a certain amount of fish oil in it.
I am like the last guy. It's a fish oil product. No petroleum is in it. You can also use it to keep pigeons off window sills and as an arthritis rub:)
It may not have any petroleum in it, but petrol distilates account for about 75% of the total. Take a look at the safety sheet, it says that about 15% of it is a hydrocarbon liquid, which is probably the fish oil.
Some light reading (I look at wd40 like the spinning wing duck decoy, I don't need either of them to get the job done.) :
WD-40 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
snopes.com: Uses for WD-40 Spray Lubricant <-- be sure to read to the bottom of this one

WD-40 unsafe for the water? After reading what chemicals and meat parts go into the average hotdog...would it be safer to leave off the meat and just bait the hook with WD-40? :)
I never tried it but I guess I better is I want to catch a big one.
