In the early 1990's after the "Iron Curtain" had fallen I bought some Russian made spoons on a fleamarket , they were cheap and looked nice being sprayed in fancy colors .
I fished them quite a while , as usual close at bottom , tossing 'em over shells , rocks and gravel .
One day I opened up my stowaway only to find most of my lures in there covered with a rusty , brown sediment !
The Russian spoons were of steel , those days I didn't even know about lures of ordinary steel , thought , that such should be impossible
!
The hard fishing had damaged the paint,-and nickel coats of those spoons , so they started to corrode instantly .
Nowadays I'd rather take a magnet with me buying strange , unknown metal lures on fleamarkets , if they stick , hands off !
I would never again put such in my tackle box !
Good Luck , diemai
