    I'm sure many of you over the year have seen sinkers that have a bit of corrosion on them.

    I tried Coca Cola several years ago (aka battery cleaner)...didn't work.

    Today...I tried a product called CLR.

    You can tell when the batch is finished because the foam will disappear.

    End product...like new again.

    Once you have cleaned the amount you need to...rinse & soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes to remove any CLR residue.

    I'm sure this would work on jigheads too...and I would bet the CLR won't harm the plastic fiber weedguards.
