How to Clean Old Fishing Lures

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Mark the Shark in Miami Beach, Florida from marktheshark.com. On this clip I'm going to show you how to clean old fishing lures. What we need is a little bucket, a little soap, a little water, o'kay and I've got one of my old favorite lures right here and what I'm going to do is make sure we get all the stainless steel wash, all the salt off of it, all the corrosion, o'kay, spray it off a little bit right here, there we go and I like to as a finishing touch I like to spray a little WD40 on the lure itself here and we are ready to go. We can pack it in the tool box and out of the way and ready for next time. Another lure, we have got an islander lure here. I want to keep that nice and clean for the next time. You may ask why we are cleaning a lure when it is going right back in the water but we're taking all the salt off of it all the corrosion off of it so it keeps its shine and we'll keep it going for the next couple of years. So we keep it nice and clean, there we go and again we like to spray the WD40 on the reel, on the lure. This is ready to go too. On choosing a lure you have several options here. This is a deep water lure mainly for high speed trolling, wahoo, tunas, stuff like this and then you have got your basically your top water lures. This is like a Rapala lure. This goes through the water, mid range, mostly on the surface. This is also for your big game fish, wahoo, tunas, amberjacks, barracudas. They both work good offshore. They both are very good lures."
