Doesn't furniture polish come in fish flavor anymore?
I have always discarded the inexpensive skirts that may have gotten gummed up. But I would just wonder how Cod Liver oil would work out or Menhaden oil which I would think would smell nice and fishy, for a quick fix.

? Another question for the experts ? Is WD-40 safe to use on tackle gear, including hooks and other tackle items? I thought I have read somewhere that it is derived from fish oils and that it was even banned from some freshwater fishing tournaments (not allowed to spray on lures, etc., perhaps because it is a fish attractant) ??????
I have also heard of some fishermen being very sensitive about NOT getting sunscreen or even cigarette flavor onto terminal tackle. (Maybe even Bananas -
) So I just wonder if that is truly a significant concern or not and whether the WD-40 could have similar detrimental effects (or perhaps the opposite if it smells good to fish).
Personally, I spray WD-40 onto my tackle gear all the time because I seem to always get salt water spray into the box compartments. And I just hate rusty stuff.
Any sound advice on these inquiries?
