Anyone used this yet?
The blurb suggests it's petroleum jelly based i.e. Vaseline - which is next to useless for protecting sharpened hooks imo.

I use the nash one yonny after speaking to mark vossen. he said the product was like a waterproof lipstick type product that would retain its effectiveness over long periods in water. my findings were its spot on for pop up rigs where your hook is suspended off the bottom and rarely had one rust at all. but on bottom baits its largely down to the lake and the PH scale of the water I think. it slows the rusting down but wont completely stop it on other lakes it will stop it all together.

Vaseline has a very low melting point so if its the same and your hook box gets warm in the sun you are going to get a mess

Man who works for Nash recommends Nash product? Well knock me down with a feather 😜

phil he would recommend a nash product mate as I asked about that specific product 
I've been using the Nash one, no complaints...

pH will have a big influence on corrosion of the hook regardless of whether it's on the deck or popped up buddy. I'm aware of the Nash one (imo there are better options out there (wax based)). I'm just a bit perplexed about the Korda one which appears to be petroleum jelly based (they tend to be the least effective options after marker pens). I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

An interesting note in the blurb for this, noting the finer texture takes longer to corrode, its not something I considered but I have noticed a difference since using ultra fine grades to hone my hooks (16000g naguri stone)

Yeah I also saw that.
Corrosion forms on areas of higher stress first and finer grinding/polishing media puts less stress on materials so I guess it makes sense.

surprised it wasn't called kaseline

Yonny when the rigs off the deck I get no rust at all. Same spot on the deck hook comes in with rust. On this particular lake it seems if the hook is in contact with the bottom the proses is speeded up.

For sure bud, I can imagine it rusts more quickly on the deck. But the lower the pH of the water, the quicker the hook will rust in general. Waters can temporarily increase/decrease in pH too just to screw our heads up. I have fished waters with pH low enough that I've had to ditch sharpened hooks altogether as nothing will stop it. On the other hand, like you I've fished waters that don't seem to touch them off the deck. Higher pH
