Rusty fish-hooks?
buying good quallity hooks does help,as well as all the info you got here.Also,as I found out recently,is a good measure to ,every time you go fishing ,pull a few meters off the reel line and throw away,as that gets rotten too,and you would hate to lose a good catch cose of a few meters of rotten line.

Reply:Dont touch them with wet hands and rinse them in fresh water after you are done fishing.
Reply:A few things and that is buy good hooks that wont rust i like mustad for this and dry them when they come out of the water and keep them in a dry place, i know of some people who use talcum powder to stop this but i don%26#039;t like this method as it leaves a mess. Also replace your hooks after about every two sessions.
Reply:Only take along enough hooks for your trip. I generally buy hooks in packs of 50-100, and then put 10 or so of each size into the tackle box at a time. If a drop of salt water gets into the hook bag or box (easily possible while fishing) it can rust up everything in there in a few days.





When you get home, dry the hooks (as others have stated). I%26#039;ve never used oil on hooks, as I think the smell might prevent fish from biting).





I haven%26#039;t had any problems with fresh water rusting hooks, but then I generally fish artificials in fresh water and they tend to come with higher quality hooks, plus fresh water isn%26#039;t nearly as corrosive as salt water.
Reply:Get you some small zip lock bags. Lot of fish hooks come in them now days. Between fishing trips,, be sure you keep them in a dry place. After fishing,, I bring my tackle box in the house where it stays dry. Other than that,, stainless hooks.
Reply:Why? Rusty fish hooks can be very pleasurable and degrading.
Reply:Rayq is absolutely right. Rinse your gear, all of it. I lay mine on a paper towel to dry then re-pack it in containers that are dry. Always sharpen your hooks before you go to use them again too.
Reply:I have never dried my hooks and have NEVER had any rust on me. I guess maybe buy good quality hooks? Replace them often? I don%26#039;t know what to say, as it has never happended to me.
Reply:rinse them in fresh water after use
Reply:Vinegar will remove rust. I know, I%26#039;ve tried it.
Reply:Looks like you already got some good answers. ;)


Have a great new years!

Reply:I keep mine in a sealed bag, but my barbless hooks came in a slight film of oil and they have never gone rusty. Thus, a few drops of oil will surely do no harm and a lot of good where rust is concerned.
Reply:When i buy new hooks, i put them in empty pill ( medicine ) bottles.


Each time i go fishing, i put on new hooks.





hooks won%26#039;t rust, if they are kept dry
Reply:Keep a couple dessicant bags in your tacklebox(the little bags that come with electronic equip. that warn you not to eat them)..if you dont have those..try a small cloth bagful of rice..it will act as a dessicant..airdry your hooks before you store them.
Reply:make sure they are clean and dry after using---then store them in a plastic box or a ziploc bag...
