Shifty

Ive been fishing the colorado river here in parker az for many years. and during the summer the fishing gets real tough due to all the recreational boaters out on the water. Things change when all them party people leave.

WD-40 is the trademark name of a United States-made water-displacing spray. It was developed in 1953 by Norm Larsen, founder of the Rocket Chemical Company, San Diego, California. It was originally designed to repel water and prevent corrosion,[1] and later was found to have numerous household uses. WD-40 stands for "Water Displacement – 40th Attempt". Larsen was attempting to concoct a formula to prevent corrosion in nuclear missiles, by displacing the standing water that causes it. He claims he arrived at a successful formula on his 40th attempt.[1] WD-40 is primarily composed of various hydrocarbons. WD-40 was first used by Convair to protect the outer skin of the Atlas missile from rust and corrosion.[1][2] The product first became commercially available on store shelves in San Diego in 1958.[1]

WD-40's formula is a trade secret. The product is not patented to avoid completely disclosing its ingredients.[2][3] WD-40's main ingredients, according to U.S. Material Safety Data Sheet information, are: 50% Stoddard solvent (i.e., mineral spirits: primarily hexane, somewhat similar to kerosene) 25% Liquefied petroleum gas (presumably as a propellant; carbon dioxide is now used instead to reduce WD-40's considerable flammability) 15+% Mineral oil (light lubricating oil) 10-% Inert ingredients The German version of the mandatory EU safety sheet lists the following safety-relevant ingredients: 60–80% Heavy Naphtha (petroleum product), hydrogen treated 1–5% Carbon dioxide It further lists flammability and effects to the human skin when repeatedly exposed to WD-40 as risks when using WD-40. Nitrile rubber gloves and safety glasses should be used. Water is unsuitable for extinguishing burning WD-40. There is a popular urban legend that the key ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil.[4] However, the WD-40 web site states that it is a petroleum based product

Thanks everyone....Awsome site you guys have. Thanks for letting me be part of it.

My buddies shoulder while fishing out of a jon boat

I fish the Colorado River almost everyday...River runs fast where im located. I get by with Berkley Vanish Fluorcarbon 12 pound test. I will retie my set ups about every other day just to be safe. No problems.

LOL

Dont get me wrong I would never use it or any other attractant. I was just wondering if it was BS or True. GONE FISHING Back Later

Here on the Colorado River Ive noticed the Bass will tend to follow the Carp around and eat what the Carp flush out. Either the Bass are smart or maybe they are just lazy. Point is...Bass are capable of learning.

Oldtimer told me if you spay your plastic baits with WD 40 it helps in catching more fish. Anyone else hear of this ?

I have the 6' 6'' MH F jig and worm. And I use it with soft plastics. No problems here....very happy with it.

Anyone out there from the Parker area ?
