Cleaning all Lures.

[Rebel]

Hi All,

I usually clean all my lures with a Toothbrush & warm soapy water. Leave them out to dry. Make sure I dry the hooks throughly.

I have just read the best was to clean all lures is in Salt Away. Maybe some of you are aleady doing this already.

Comments please.

I chuck every thing in a bucket and spray some of the salt wash in and swish it all around then rinse everything off - I use it on my rods as well .

I fish freshwater... every cast cleans the lure 😁

I just leave them in a bucket of plain tap water while I clean everything else up, leave out to dry overnight, sharpen or replace any hooks that need it, then give all hooks a light wipe over with a rag dampened with tuna oil (just the stuff you add to a burley mix).

The tuna oil sets semi-hard, doesn’t get all over the tackle box or smell and I can’t remember the last time I had a rusty hook.

Nothing flash for me, just a hose down when I do the rods and other stuff, but then, my lure fishing is pretty simple these days, either a fly that costs nothing (almost), or a plastic that the head costs peanuts anyway.

I use salt away to clean my rods/reels and any lures that are still attached - I do them at the same time I’m cleaning my ski using the salt away hose attachment/mixer
