Outdoor Tip - Revitalizing Old Fishing Lures
If you haven’t taken the time to clean your fishing lures in a while, now might be the time to get them out and give them a quick polish and get them looking like new. All you need is an old soft–bristled toothbrush and some regular white toothpaste. Just rinse the lure in warm water and gently scrub with a bit of toothpaste on the toothbrush. The brightening agent in the toothpaste along with the mild abrasives will restore the lure to its original finish. You will find this particularly effective on spoons with brass, copper, gold or silver finishes. By getting your lures looking like new, you won’t have to buy new ones to get you catching some big fish this summer.
