Use a permanent magic marker to color the points and the tops of your hooks and it will keep them from rusting out!

We do this all the time with Shark hooks and the hooks on Tuna lures. We sharpen these hooks with a file or stone every time we use them and if left “un-treated”, they will be rusted to death the next time you use them. So sharpen them up and coat them good with a sharpie and they’ll be good as new then next time you need them!
