I've used crawdad/crayfish smelly jelly a few times for perch and trout and it really seemed to turn up the hit rate. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any at several local SW stores.
I have been experimenting with anise flavoring this year, with not enough tries to guess on results. I have at times used fish slime or entrails as a natural fish attractant with some seeming success. One day I was fishing with catchinon and cut my thumb on a hook. Not sure of the ethics, but let some of my blood drip on the chub meat on my jig. It was hit immediately on the drop and continued to prove successful until my blood clotted. Hopefully didn't spawn a strain of man-eating cutthroats at the Berry. Werefish? Vampire cuts?
As for WD-40, rumor had it that there were fish oils in the recipe. Probably an old fisherman's tale...
Fish on!
