I got a bunch of tadpollys and hotshots that are dirty, mostly from putting shrimp oil on them and some are kind of faded.I thought about armor all but that stuff leaves a slippery residue and has a smell that might repulse fish. The plugs are mostly all in good shape and I would rather try and clean them up than buy all new. What would you fellas use?
Thanks

HI: What I do every few months is to fill up the kitchen sink with very warm water with joy soap. I bought a bunch of very stiff tooth brushes. Dump the plugs in, let them soak for 20 mins or so then take the tooth brush to them.

Once they are faded, I have several cans of spray paint that I touch them up with.

Most of the time I do not worry about repainting them until they are reallllly bad.

Good Luck.

I just stick mine in the silverware tray of the dishwasher, add a little soap and wash away.
