ive heard you should spray your rigs with wd40 as that will stop the rust! and some say the oil attracts the fish! confused

To be honest, for the cost of a hook is it worthwhile? I costs at least twice as much just to put bait on it lol big grin

With brands like Veals ect doing so many great deals on top quality rig components, id have to say im quite happy disposing of hooks and swivels after 2 trips. after the first trip, the rigs are washed off in cold fresh water, dried, hooks sharpened and then put away after a thorough inspection. If they look dodgy during the inspection, then they're thrown away. no point tempting fait. after the second trip, they are disposed of (in a suitable way of course). then new rigs are tied up for the next sess. dont like to be part of the throw away nation, but id rather not risk it when it comes down to fishing!!
