rusty trebles

[PAVO]

ive always had problems with my trebs rusting around the welding of hooks. realy pee'd me off.a bloke i met the other day while flickin some lures around told me he hits his with a coat of clear nail polish. has anyone else had the same prob and has a remedy.

matt is bang on, tops name 2! Inox doesn't deter fish one bit and is good for reels also.

change to decoy rings and trebles, sooooo sharp
a better shaped gape
and they virtually dont rust
i dont wash any of my lures after use
and ive got ones 12 months old and older in my box that are good as new

Having trebles that rust is a bad thing and a good thing at the same time.

It's a bad thing because we don't want them to rust in our tackle box between uses. It's a good thing for fish if they bust off our lures or get left with a treble attached to them - if the hooks rust away the fish has a better chance of survival.

I use Inox on my lures when they're new, after each use I rinse the lures under the tap let them dry them give them a coat of Inox ready for the next use.

Does Inox affect the coatings on the lures?

I use to have rust problems.
But i now just simply wash the lures I use in the session it is usually only 5, all I do is run then under warm water and problem solved

i just chuck the lure(s) under the tap and throw em back in the lure box and they're fine.

i always wash my lures off in fresh water then sit em on tob of my box to dry.
I also have the moisture absorbing sachets from in shoe boxes in my tackle box. a couple scattered about the box absorbs any stray moisture and stops em rusting. just grab a few each time im looking about in kmart.
