Interesting. I've had some rust / corrosion issues with some of my hooks. I'm guessing that even though I fish "freshwater" there must be some salt content . I'll start spraying and see if that slows down the issue. I kinda figured it to be the high humidity, so I started putting those silica packets inside my plano boxes.
There’s a little bit of salt in the water until you get several miles upriver. After last years Chickasabogue tournament I left one of my combos for about 2 months and tried to used it and it had started to get crunchy from the little bit of saltiness. It’s difficult to gauge when you need to clean in brackish water but my rule now is if I see a crab at any point where I’m fishing I rinse haha. Rinsing whatever lures you use and letting them fully dry before long storage in a box greatly reduces rust from what I’ve found.
Good tip!
Thanks brother!
