WD-40 took the soft bait remains right off and the tooth paste cleaned up the rest of the grime..Suprisingly after more then 20yrs. the Hooks aren't rusty and as for the spit rings they are made of brass.Some of the paint is wore off this one but there all in good shape. Thanks again!!

Try a bottle of spray on "GOO GONE" this stuff helped me save a box of old spinner baits that had melted on skirts and old curly tails on stinger hooks, it really works for that but you will still need brasso for the rust portion. New NAFC Lifetime Member, BASS Member *

Gotta agree with turnip on this one...tooth paste cleans up old lures great...and its not abrasive enough to hurt the finish.
