How could this had happened?
I just cleaned out my shed today, and found my soft plastics Bass tackle box. I haven't went Bassin' in around 2-months, and when I opened it up, all of my damn hooks were rusted. Not just one or two hooks in a bunch. ALL OF MY WORM HOOKS. Oh, and not the cheap ones, the expensive Gammy ones. The cheap old Wal-Mart value pack ones were just mildly rusted. How in the hell did this happen? How can I prevent this next time?
I've never had this problem, and ALL of the hooks haven't been exposed to water, and NEVER saltwater.
Also, it is a new tackle box, but I don't see how that could factor into all of my damn hooks rusting.
Help!!!
corrosion. water is not required. something in the plastic reacts with some kind of metal in the hooks.
ever put soft plastics in with spinnerbaits? left for awhile, even in a cool dark place, sometimes you end up with a gooey mess. depends on what specific materials they're made of.
