One of the reasons I quit spin-casting. Was getting sick of all the rust, let alone all the $ I was spending on tackle. Plus I was feeling I was getting more fish on flies. Now I fish two ways only, 1: Fly (I can tie most of the flies I tie for about 20-30 cents I figure, so it doesn’t kill me to discard/lose a fly like when you snag and lose a brand new $4-5 lure).
And 2: C.P: The odd time I fish a blade under my float but never have a problem with rust in this situation as most blades are a higher grade stainless steel. And I don’t use jigs that often because I don’t like dealing with drying them out, so usually it’s just a rubber worm on a hook I’m Steelheading with or roe or shrimp. These 3 have been my top producers for steel, with rubber worm being #1...if it ain’t broke, why fix it?
