Restoring spinnerbait blades - How to make them shiny again

[TheFoosh]

Hi All,

Does anyone have any tricks to restore spinnerbait blades that have tarnished?

I have a few with dull blades that I want to restore without using chemicals etc that will deter the fish.

I shine up my old chrome lures with either Autosol or Brasso and they come up better than new. If there’s any green corrosion, a quick soak in vinegar will get rid of that.
If you’re worried about the smell give them a wipe over with hot water and even smear a little scent on them if you’re meticulous.
If you don’t want to use chemicals, give them a buff with ultra fine, 0000 grade steel wool.

Simplest and cheapest way to restore any metal, stainless chrome etc is simply get a sheet of alfoil and a bottle of coke OR pepsi.

Make a small wad of alfoil pour a small amount of coke onto the metal and rub with the alfoil.

You will be amazed at the results, also great way to polish bimini frames.
