I do often rinse my plug bag but I often find everything still rusts.
Buy your VMC's in bulk to save some money and replace as necessary. Set up a Plano box with a full size run of VMC's and split rings that way when you need to replace a batch of hooks you can do so quickly.
Keep in mind just because a VMC has some rust doesn't mean it isn't strong anymore. Get a good hook file, put a point on it, and it's ready to go.
My waders and jackets get rinsed every other week or so. I know I should be better about it but my rods and reels typically only see sweetwater when it rains...
About the only thing that sees a good rinse every trip it gets used is my wetsuit. Everything else I expect to last even with some abuse from not being wash down every day.
