No Dave the problem arises when you wrap the wire and pull it tight on the grommets. The grommets push into the paint and cause it to push away ever so slightly and then the water can penatrate under the paint. The corrosion happenes because the water gets trapped under the paint and can't escape. I have a naked one that looks better than the one where the water got under the paint. You just got to rinse and polish every few days and it looks good no corrosion just dulling. There is no coloring the lure though just the shinny alum. color, which does look good though. Maybe I will try some alum. grommets to see if it makes a difference. Now I think a coat of epoxy around the belly hole and around the grommets where they meet the lure is the way to get added life out of the thing. I am starting to think about stainless again. I need to lighten them up and think I have tried everything but this fall I will try more. Paul
