Does any one know how to clean the white mole or film off old fishing baits ? I have my Dad's tackle box and it has white mole on all the baits.

I no longer have a hair dryer, as it takes only a couple of minutes for what little hair I have left to dry...lol. I have a couple of old credit cards that I broke into 2 pieces and scrape the white stuff off and then what little bit is left, I just take the stuff I clean with and the rest comes off. I've never damaged a lure doing this, but the worst offenders I find are Arbogast and Bomber lures. A number of years ago I read someone on Joe's who said that the hair dryer could cause problems. Wish I could remember what they said, but it didn't sound plausible to me and I have also used hair dryers and never have had a problem. But as they always said, more than one way to skin a cat. Good luck.
I boil water and let it cool off just a bit - pour into old cup you don't mind ruining and use needle nose to rinse lure in hot water holding in water 5 seconds usually does it - just wipe of with clean cloth and repeat if necessary until all mold is gone.
Karma is real... DON'T BE A D!CK!!!
