Washing up liquid or cooking oil?

[ouchthathurt]

What’s the best thing to lubricate your lug pump when bait collecting? I’ve used washing up liquid mixed with water after being advised to do years ago, but I was recently told of using vegetable oil instead as it’s more environmentally friendly and easier to use. What do you guys use?

cooking oil worked ok but messy , so now washing up liquid around 50 %with water also changed washers to ha6 marine silicon which seem a lot better

Advice - Pumpers lube?

What do you use and how often? Got a pump, well a couple actually but mot got out with one yet. I have read that some use, veg oil, some washing up liquid, a mix of both. What would you recommend. Also how do you know when more lube is required?
