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.

This is basically what I do.
Wet suit every trip.Rods an reels basically never.I try to hit my waders (breathables) an tops more often.I don't worry bout plus or hooks I just yank em off when the get iffy.On a well used plug i'll change the hooks 3-4 times a yr.The days of the finishes on hooks holding up through out the season are history.
