WD40 vs Fishing Line: The TRUTH | Mono and Fluoro | B Fishing |

- It is time to put this one to bed. Does WD40 weaken your fishing line?
I answer the question for you in this one and the results may surprise you.
I took 3 strands of each line (one control, one was sprayed and on was soaked for 5 days) and exposed them to different levels of WD40 to see if it had an effect.
I noticed during editing I actually had on the same shirt in both sections of this video. Oops, I can assure you this was over a 5 day period.
Enjoy!

Never even thought about WD effecting my line . Great vid , well done
I’d like to see more videos like this. Think it’s a great idea on the line test video. Great video 👊🏻
Thanks it was fun to shot and interesting results. It answered the main questions but left me with several more. I will be doing more tests like this in the future.
Very interesting results! I’m not a fan of WD-40. Hilco is my choice. Never had a issue with either on messing my line up. This was a great video man! Very professional way you did the testing!
I really appreciate that. I am thinking about trying out different knots on fluoro to see which works best to not cause what you saw in the video.
I never knew you had to clean your line. Learning a lot here
Lol. You don't have to clean your line. But folks that clean their reels sometimes get the cleaner, WD40, on their line and claim that it will ruin and weaken the line.
Giday I have has 20lb mono on my surf rods for coming up on 16 years without changing line , im still pulling out fish that weigh anywhere from 5lb to over 100lb on that line....... my best was a 190lb bronze whaler shark (did use a 100lb stainless leader for that) so I think changing out your line every year is only good for the retailers. My best catch last year was a 101lb kingfish on a $10 kids rod and reel with 6lb line on it and a trout fly...... I was just having fun with a school of Kahawai (2-5lbs) when the kingfish hit me. I brought that rod for my 7 y/o daughter...... she is now 35 y/o..... still using the same mono that was on it when new. My rods all live in the garage out of direct sun , and I believe that has a lot to do with line life. Enjoyed your test and kinda knew what the outcome would be but interesting all the same...... Cheers mate from New Zealand
well you've made a believer out of me I'm using 8lb Berkeley trilene xt extra tough monofilament and done some weight test on it it's capable of holding almost 12lb before the line had broke and the knots I'm using is a double Palomar knot I'll be using WD-40 From here on out thanks for posting this video on youtube thumbs up
Thank you excellent video...What about this WD-40 Specialist Dry Lube with PTFE, have you done any testing with this that others are talking about?
I'm so glad you did this video. Taught me a great lesson.
Yep. Tie your knots carefully on fluoro and don't trust berkley vanish. Seaguar is better anyway.
@@B_the_Cameraman have you ever tried pline? Floro
@@dougbardfield1975 I personally haven't but I know folks that swear by it
@@B_the_Cameraman okay I'm thinking about picking up a big spool of it . I have never tried it either. I'm going to grab some seaguar 14lb floro also. I have not tried either of those. I can't wait to try those new baits.
Nice video
Love this test. I'd also be interested to know if there is an affect on braid line. Toughts?
it improves braid
I bottom fish in the Atlantic ocean off shore with 17 to 120lb mono and 100 to 200lb fluoro when I get home I wash my rods and reels with soap and hot water then I rinse with cool water then spray wd-40 on every thing line, guides and reels. I never change my line due to the wd-40 I never have a problem I do change my line once a year unless I get spooled. I use a Daiwa 610 cod conventional reel with custom rod for bottom fishing and a Daiwa sealine 50h or Daiwa 900h reel for lite lining or trolling for king mackerel, dolphin fish, tuna and other top water fish.
I use wd 40 as knot lube for floro to keep from burning the line on the cinch and never had an issue with breakages and I try to rip the lips off the fish.
That was exactly what I found. Wd-40 had zero effect on the line but not carefully tying that knot can easily burn flouro and severely weaken it
I don't care for Berkely line of any type! I would like to see this test with what I beleive to be the best flouocarbon on the market, Seaguar!
I use spiderwire braid 30 lb on all my reels wonder what wd-40 do to that. Keep it up and that's a nice shirt. Thank you keep up the good work
I highly doubt it does anything at all to braid. But only one way to find out.
@@B_the_Cameraman I don't think it will mabe make it smell but that's about it
Some people use WD40 on lures as attractant. I awas wonering if WD 40 can be used to condition the line. Thanks for sharing.
It didn't really seem to effect the line that much, so possibly. As far as an attractant, because it is oil based the fish would not be able to sense it. Think about it, oil will not dissolve in water. It stays on the surface. I understand some swear by it but from a science stand point it doesn't add up. Any oil based scent falls in that category for that matter unless they have parts that are water soluble.
Ok thanks now what knot do you recommend if you had to choose one
Palamor
I've simply always stayed away from using wd-40 do to the fact it's one got a bad odor and two doesn't easily wash away. So my thought was always it would cause fish to not hit my lures if wd-4o odor was present. I've always just used stuff made for reels. And I always begin lubricating and tossing my lines on weeks apart from each other lubricating first then line and it's always worked for me.. But still a very interesting video thanks for sharing..
WD-40 is one of, if not the least aggressive solvents there is. Nylon (as in nylon monofilament) Is very resistant to chemicals so I see no reason to worry if one splashes WD40 on their line. Just wipe it off and fish.
wd40 doesn't affect line
WD-40 is 10% oil and 89% mineral spirits 1% non freeze in it and does nothing to plastic. It is not break cleaner with Lacquer thinner. Just saying my grandfather to me has used WD-40 for to long. I've been using Zebco momo lines for I've years no problem for me. My dad used Stran line.
Mono is definantly more abrasion resistant than floro.
Berkley vanish is just trash in general I bought 12 and I was able to pull and brake it with no effort
What part of Alabama are you from? I’m from Gardendale
I am in Gardendale also
We will have to meet up and do some fishing
Yea man, I kayak fish also, I fish a lot at Oak Mountain State Park and Gunnersville. I’ve never fish five mile creek though, I saw your videos there.
Thanks for commenting back, I love videos, keep at it!!!
@@devindipiazza1838 definitely need to check out five Mile. They aren't gigantic but very aggressive. We usually just use a boat at bigger lakes. I want to do oak mountain this year. Is it any good?
If youre worried about gettting wd40 on line,,TaKe spool of before spraying,,
"bottom line" if there ever was a good place to use that this is it
First
You can't handle the truth!
