After spoons and spinners become badly chipped or corroded they can be replated by saving several of them and taking them to a firm which does nickel plating or chrome plating. The chrome plating is best for spoons used in salt water. If you have only one or two spoons or spinners which are badly chipped or corroded you can still use them if you paint them silver, white, or yellow. On jigs you have to watch the hook and the hair, feather, or nylon skirts. If the hook is badly rusted and weakened the best procedure is to discard that particular jig and put it aside for melting when you pour new ones. If, however, the hook is in good condition but the hair is thinned out or shredded you can remove it and tie on new hair, feathers, or nylon. If the jig is painted it can be rubbed with steel wool or sandpaper and then repainted.
