This video is about whether WD-40 will effect braided Fishing line. I used Berkley Power Pro Braided fishing line and regular WD 40 on this test.

Sick video rite up my alley glad I found y’all..I liked and subscribed.check me out super new..
doesnt effect enough to worry about it
WD 40 should never be used on fishing reels. It’s more of a solvent than an effective lubricant. Use corrosion x oil instead if you want actual benefits other than moving water and debris around.
How much is that scale
Not first. WD40 doesn’t effect mono. Why do you suspect it would braid.
rather ineffective test. Two different production lots of braid were used. It would have made a LOT more sense to use samples of line from the SAME spool – soak one, don’t soak the other. Duh? The break is usually at and due to the knot, and two different knot instances can vary sufficiently to make more difference than what was seen in this inconclusive and very unscientific test.
Wrapping line on a large arbor (with many loops) at each termination point would have been a better approach. Then, securing of the tag ends would not be nearly as critical as was the knot. This “test” tested the knots tied, not the line.
I think your best subscriber is your dog!
Yak,
How about we just wash the Rob & Reel off with plain water. And after it dries shot the moving part with the WD40. Unscrew the drag screw, pop off the spool, and spray the gears and handle.
No need to put anything but water on the line anyway.
The WD40 guy strikes again. And please let Marley in.
wd 40 is practically impossible to completely hose off fishing line on a spool
I neglected to mention on the previous mono line video, but making up for it now…I always thought “reel magic” was the safe way to go vs WD-40. Since you already have this series going, would you be so kind to continue this testing with reel-magic for us?
WD40 will never come near anything I use for fishing.
Science
WD40 is a degreaser. It’s not a lubricant.
We’re doing a recap here… your sidebar commentary cracks me up. Way to go being a pioneer on this subject. Hey at least now you have some 1 of a kind faded 15# braid!
I mean.. I get the concept of the test.. But… soak anything in liquid for 2 weeks.. It will be weaker than it was previously.. Use water and you’ll probably have similar results.
It will just absorb WD and then the line will stink
tie it 2 the fence
First
WD-40 has water in it ! It corroded a 1960’s Remington 1100 that I put in storage for awhile. I highly recommend NOT using WD-40 for anything. Far. Far better products out their. So don’t ruin your gear by using WD-40 !
First
Wd40 does not degrade PE line the test needs a larger variance than just 1 lb, try a heavier line so it is easier to calculate the percentage lost. I have been using wd40 to protect reel spools and keep line memory down for years.
Based on test I don’t think you can say the effect is significant vs the benefits when saving reel from saltwater abuse
when are you going to look at the compass hobie
I like the “nude beach” sign!
Of course a solvent will weaken the test strength. WD40 is great for cleaning metal and repelling water, but not much else. Technically the scale should be static to get an accurate reading, but that’s splitting hairs. I really enjoy your vlog. Keep it up!
you guys do know that WD40 makes a lubricant now
Clinch knots are a weaker knot. Use a polymer Knot. it’s much better at 95 percent of line strength.
How about 303 Aerospace Protectant??? This works great on serpentine belt and others materials like vinyl, plastic, fibber glass, rubber, leather.
So much for bill nye the science guy!
Great idea. Keep it simple man and natural.
Cool man 🙂
20 lb braid breaks at way more than 20 lbs
I’ve got an idea for an off-the-wall experiment. Brake cleaner.
Hi Yak. Thank you for your military service. I need to send you a can of Houdini. You will love it on your fishing gear. The military uses the same product overseas on their weapons. I buy direct from manufacture. The product is outstanding. Cheers.
more marley doggo
You should try pulling not lifting just saying lol im curious
ON TILE!?!!?! YOU ARE A SAVAGE! LOL. I would have done that test outside. But thank you for the video.
