Rusty Jig heads.

[moses]

Opened up my jig head tray to find all my jig heads rusty. I assume some wd40 would remedy that. Any suggestions.

They are in a plano box. Should not have happened.

I keep silica gel packets in with my crank baits. I also got Plano Edge boxes which have an insert to help keep things dry. 
 

I find this happens when it’s rained on a trip but I don’t take the time to clean and dry the box afterwards.

I would not worry about it, take a few casts and see what it produces. something different is sometimes the key. Take a few casts, have some patience you might be pleasantly surprised.

Good advice. Thanks guys

Make a mixture of dish soap, vinegar and baking soda. Soak your rusty jigs/lures for 20 minutes. Rinse with fresh water. 

Sharpen the hooks, if they're rusty they're probably not sticky sharp.

Good plan

CrowMan beat me to the punch on this one.  That would be my first plan of attack.
