Cleaning Spinners

#1 Post by Liamo »

Lads,

Anyone got any suggestions on how to clean rust off spinners german sprats/toby's and the like, that and a lot of them are badly tarnished/dulled. I want to get the shine back too. Please tell me there's some magic liquid solution that I just put them in overnight and hey presto lures like new in the morning...

vinegar... coca cola.....


what you can try (if you want), is when it is shin again.. get some clear varnish and give a very light coating...

dont let them rust in the first place, give them a light spray of wd40 after use.

if they are rusted and you want them silver again, rub them down with a buff or scotch pad or similar, buy a can of plastikote spray paint in chrome colour, and spray em again!! just keep topping it up!

Done some of mine last year. Replaced the trebles and gave them a bit of polish with crome cleaner. Brought a bit more shine to them.

I had the same problem, even with WD40..!

Anyway, I got some reflective tape from Viking. Comes in strips and you apply it like selotape. Like the same reflective stuff on a dexter wedge.

Anyway works a dream..!

I just took the split rings and old trebles of and took out the brasso and got to work. Brings them up quite well :) ....something to be doing during the long hours of winter darkness
