wat u clean ure lures with?
was wondering wat people clean their lures with after every use to keep them nice and shiny for the bass. i use a salt remover but was wondering if anyone used anything else to help prevent the hooks from rusting or how they stored them after using them. thanks

Fresh water rinse.....change hooks as needed! 
Its not so much the saltwater that eats the hooks as it is the salinity from the fishes mouth. |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I use salt-x (boaters world) or salt terminator (BassPro shops) to clean my gear, after I fish I soak my plugs for 10 minutes then rinse them off with freshwater and hang them to dry before putting them back into their boxes. I never have to replace hooks or split rings because of corrosion and it also keeps the reels nice and pretty too! I use a misting bottle with the salt-x solution, spray my reels and rods down then rinse them off with freshwater. obviously I don't do this all the time only when time permits, which is most of the time.

I usually wash them with skunk.
Truth be told, just a bucket of fresh water with a little dish soap,then rinse with the hose.

Umm riiiight. They rust because they're exposed to oxygen after having salt on them 
I also rinse mine with rain, or better yet keep them in the water longer and they'll be exposed to less oxygen  |

Save your extra toothbrushes, they're great for working the Naptha Soap in and around the split rings.
And I've heard that if you use Seltzer Water to rinse it actually tempers VMC hooks, and in a good way.

For Likwid and Throwingtimber....its a fact! I got plugs....same 2 hooks they were new with......one hook that I caught the fish on is all rusted......the other....not at all! I have noticed this for quite awhile. If you have a better explanation of why I would like to hear it??

Larry, if anything, its the fish's digestive fluids that corrode the hooks faster, but its not salinity.

electrolysis is a huge factor that many over look. the hooks are steel and the split rings are stainless... any time you put dissimilar metals together you will have this problem.. thats why folks put zincs on boats.

BF - maybe the fish rub you plug into the sandy beaches and wear off the so called permasteel finish.
==========
use hydrogen peroxide to get rust stains off your plugs or plano boxes.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
