How to clean rust from old bucktails/rigs
« on: February 11, 2010, 12:54:22 PM »
 Snowy days = reel and gear maintenance ;D. Just passing on a  simple way to save some of those jigs,Hopkins,bucktails,and mylar rigs that may have gotten discolored with rust since last season. Just put them in a cup of plain vinegar for a few minutes and then wipe off with a paper towel and rinse with fresh water. It will take most of the rust off and have them looking pretty good in just a few minutes.
