Old-school anglers swore by WD-40 as a fish attractant for decades, and honestly, it kind of worked. WD80 takes that rebel spirit and rebuilds it into a legitimate, fish-safe UV gel fish attractant that hits the same olfactory triggers those anglers were onto, without the petroleum base. If you see anglers write it as WD 80 or WD-80, they are usually talking about this WD80 UV Gel. I developed this formula to create the mechanical oil scent profile that kokanee and rainbow trout respond to, enhanced with UV brighteners and amino acid attractants that boost lure visibility and create a chemical feeding trigger at depth. Apply it to your dodgers, spoons, and lures before every troll and watch fish commit more aggressively than they do on unscented presentations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is WD80 UV Gel?
WD80 is Max Gross's anise-based UV gel scent, built and fine-tuned with Cal Kellogg for Central Valley lakes. It combines color, UV brightness, a sticky gel base, and a strong sweet anise scent that Max calls a killer for kokanee and trout.
How do I use WD80 UV Gel?
Slather it on your lures before dropping them. Max Gross scents his Uncle Larry's Double Trouble spinners, hoochies, beads, and corn with WD80, coating everything except the hoochie skirt. He tips his spinners 100 percent, every time, for the best results.
What does WD80 work on?
Max Gross runs it on kokanee spinners, hoochies, and dodger-and-crawler setups for trout, kokanee, and salmon. Cal Kellogg also slathers it on his Collins Lake crawler rig. The sweet anise base doubles for salmon, since anise is common in salmon mixes.
Why is WD80 anise-based?
Max Gross built the sweet anise formula specifically for Central Valley fishing, blending sticky UV gel with a scent trail that holds on the lure. At Wishon and Shaver, he tips Uncle Larry's spinners with it and racks up 30 to 40 fish on recent trips.
Should I put WD80 on the whole lure?
Cover the hard parts. Max Gross scents beads, corn, and spinner bodies but leaves the soft hoochie skirt untreated so it still breathes and flutters. Reapply as you fish to keep the sticky gel and its scent trail working behind your dodger.
What pairs well with WD80 UV Gel?
Uncle Larry's Double Trouble spinner. Max Gross slow-trolls the Double Trouble behind a dodger, coats it in WD80, and tips it with double corn, a Central Valley combo that earned him a personal-best 4.5-pound rainbow at Shaver Lake.
