Default WD40 on fishing lures

The "Rusty Lures" thread included a discussion on the use of WD40 on fishing
lures.

I defer to SWRadio's opinion based on his extensive fishing knowledge and
experience that it is neither a fish attractant nor repellant.

Have you used it and if so, what were your results?

Does it at least mask human scent while acting as a rust preventative for
your lures?

How about the environmental effects of using a petroleum based solvent like
WD40, let alone eating fish that have ingested the solvent?
