Marine critters are very sensitive to smell and it is thought the WD40

Other oils can also attract fish. One experiment was tried by dipping
herring in a dirty bilge, They caught more fish. Novice women fisherpersons
often do better than their male counterparts. Perfumed hand lotion?

Smokers catch more fish than non-smokers, people who drink beer catch
more fish than non-drinkers...I've heard it all. :)

Yup, me too. I take it with a grain of salt, too!
