Keep your top-water lures looking and performing their best with these quick post-fishing care tips.

Properly caring for your top-water lures after use in saltwater is essential to maintain their effectiveness and prolong their lifespan.

Here are our top tips on how to care for your top-water lures after use in salt water:

1. Rinse: After use, rinse your lure with fresh water. This will help remove any salt or dirt that has accumulated on the lure's surface. You can use a bit of soap to further loosen grime and fishy smells.

2. Dry: Dry your lure with a clean cloth or towel, then hang to dry. Make sure to remove any excess moisture, as saltwater can cause corrosion and damage to your lure's hooks and hardware.

3. Oil: Apply a light coating of oil to your lure's hooks to prevent rust and corrosion.

4. Store: Store your lure in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in direct sunlight, as this can cause discolouration and fading over time.

Bonus: Inspect your lure for any signs of damage or wear and tear. Replace any damaged or worn-out components before using it again to avoid disappointment from lost fish!

By following these tips, you can help extend the life of your top-water lures and keep them in good working condition for your next trip 💪🏼
