Has anyone tryed it?No I would not suggest that.Been told that fish can sense chemicals etc.Probably best thing is tuna oil imho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 get the silica gel bags from shoe shops.. desicant bags.Vet surgeries chemists etc also have lots of them. you can find them from ebay too!!fantastic for moisture absorbent sachets to stick with your hooks and jigs and lures!!!(ps thanks ranger for all this info!!! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big Ian 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I am led to believe the main ingredient in WD40 is fish oil Quote Link to post Share on other sites

weaver 271 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 One word,, INOX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watersnake 2 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 It maybe just old age but i have to ask what the hell is INOX? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vb4me 1 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Inox is the Aussie version of wd40. So its better . It also doesnt dry out the way wd40 does. I have used the stuff for ages now. Apparently its non toxic too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vb4me 1 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Here try thishttp://www.inox-mx3.com/inox.htmKnew of inox and lanox but they have a good range of stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 we stock inox, lanox, lanoguard, and now stock a spray from CRC called Tackle Guard. which i just saw at work for the first time today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vb4me 1 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Hey Del what is in tackle guard? It has been around for a number of years. Have never used any of these on my fishing gear though just in case the fish can taste it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 no idea... i work in a car parts retailer! not even a fishing shop!!!inox is what ill be purchasing next.. :)VB i can check out can contents tomorrow for you. will hopefully remember.. and write it down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coight 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Weaver you got it! A lot of the bream guys use it me included, open your tackle box and let it rip!I used to keep bream in my pool, we'd get hammered and have a fish off, once 2 or 3 were caught the bite would shut down.. the only thing that would fire e'm up was a bit if inox on the lure or bait, so dont be worried bout that on your jig heads or trebles. SSSHHhh we like to keep that quiet Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pellipeeli11 0 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 gidday Watersnake and othersI have used WD40 for years,also Tackleguard,CRC,Penatrene,even Bushman spray on my reels,lines, lures,baits,etc ,Never worried about it affecting catch rates and on some occasions it definatly has not bothered the fish. :ohmy: I even tried Kerosene and Glowbait on worms and shrimp in west lakes once ,after reading about it being good for Bream, NOT GOOD,left a Longgg Bright green oil slick for all to see. (exit stage left asap). On hooks and swivels just use tuna oil,just a little in in tackle box tray it will also stick the hooks etc to the bottom of the compartment. VB4ME Tackle guard is made by Shakespeare i think and is in a purple spray can (small)Just remember guys we all use WD40 or similar on our gear after we wash and clean it,OR at least I do.

Del 245 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 VBCRC6028 tackle guardhttp://www.crcind.com.au/catalogue.nsf/%28MSDS%29/TACKLE%20GUARD%206028%20ncr/$FILE/MSDS.pdflittle purple can as mentioned Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vb4me 1 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yep know the can. Never tried it though. Thought it was a bit of a lure for fisherman lookin for a way to look after their gear. Up the price cos its a specialty item when a cheaper can of wd40 would have done the same job. After reading the msds I think inox is definitely the go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Del 245 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 cans are tiny.. and even at staff price.. i wouldnt buy them...id go inox.. i can get a bigger can for the same price! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
statesquider 0 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I reckon i'll grab some INOX, didn't realise it was australian :dry: All these years I've been buying wd40 (hangs head in shame) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watersnake 2 Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Thanks Guys, For your replys it all sounds good but like statesquider I too didn't know INOX was Aussie so will also have to go with that .Thanks Watersnake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
