Blu Fox Vibrax Spinners

[Crankhead]

Getting everything ready to get back out for another season. Glanced in my box w/Blue Fox Vibrax Spinners and found the trebles covered w/rust. I know I can get the rust off using a hook sharpener. But is there a solution I could soak the trebles in that'll take off the rust and not damage the treble and/or spinner? If I wanted to just put a new treble on...cutting off the old is easy. But there's no way that I can see to add a new treble. know I could just cut the old treble off but there's no way to put on a new treble on...any ideas? Thanks much.

I would just replace the lure, pretty reasonably priced if my mind serves me correct.

Cut the old hook off and use a small spit-ring to attach a new hook.

Yep,just add some split rings. All my inline spinners have split rings on em'.

I would use a split ring with a new treble, but if you don't want the added length, then you could use a dremel tool with a steel wire attachment tool to clean the old...Split rings is faster.

Thanks to Jigfishn10, Grimlin & OkobojiEagle who posted just cut off the hook...add a split ring & new treble. Duh...it's so simple & a great solution. With all the trebles on cranks that I change...this never entered my mind. I knew if I put the question out there...someone would have an idea or two...glad I found Bass Resource years ago. Thanks again, this should do the job. Crank.
