Besy way to get fish attractant off your lure?
I'll admit. I made a mistake coating my inline spinners with Kick N Crappie attractant. After it dried, it was just so sticky that the blade kept sticking to the body which meant the blade would not rotate during the retrieve, unless i was really cranking it in fast. So i am now trying to figure out a what to get the stuff off. Scrubbing it would more than likely damage the paint. Rinsing it as a sticky oil based attractant would take forever and a lot of water. I thought about using rubbing alcohol or boiling them in soapy water. Any thoughts folks?

That is what I would try first. Maybe put one in a jar of it and shake it up good.Originally Posted by Eager Beaver

well, good news and bad news.
I decided to boil them in soapy water, because just letting them sit there didn't work. Good news is that lures that i wanted to get clean, got cleaned. Bad news the lures that i didn't really care for too much got ruined. The painted peeled off a few lures that i bought from Bass Pro Shop. But the Blue Fox lures turned out alright. Took them out to the lake and they started spinning again.
Won't apply fish attractant to spinners every again.

Next time, try WD40. That always takes sticky residue off for me.

Bass guys used to spray their lures with WD40 as an attractant. Maybe some still do, don't know. Guess that way you would have scent and lubed up spinners - the best of both worlds!

WD-40 can be used for alot of different applications. Good stuff.

if you have access..and think WD40 is good..try biodiesel..just make sure you clean it off the paint..otherwise it'll clean the paint off..
and its not petro based..so its safe in the water..made from vegetable oil..
use at your own risk...I know lots about biodiesel, but not so much about fishing..i'm learning..
