Best way to clean my tackle boxes?
For the first time I have accumulated a little rust on some of the lures in a few of my plano boxes. Some of my lures have a little rust on the hooks. This is because I may have been a little careless this year in making sure I let them dry out after fishing trips or days in the rain. Now that I've emptied them, is there something specific I should clean the Plano boxes out with? I've wiped them out and soaked them in soapy water. I've heard that the rust can "Hide in the cracks" if you will.
Rust and plastic don't go well, they stain it and removing it is very awkward. There are various things you can try, which have worked in the past for me, try cleaning it with a little alcohol, if that doesn't work spray a small amount of WD-40 onto it and clean with a dry cloth.
If you feel WD-40 is too strong i would really recommend using liquid silicone spray. It doesn't damage plastic, and can be used on electrical components.
Now to stop it forming again, and to help to dry out your box, if you forget and put the lures back wet try these, i have them in most of my bags to keep moisture out.
This will also help to stop your lures rusting
