I saw something not too long ago about evapo-rust from CRC. The guy doing the test was amazed and it looked genuine, so I decided to give it the ultimate test... Rusty hooks.
I have some expensive big rusty hooks that I don't want to just throw out so I put it to the test. I actually have video, but not sure how to post video on the forum.
These were my test hooks and I was blown away what happened. I forgot to take pics afterwards since I videoed, but the big 16/0 circle is to show what happened.

Pulled it out 24 hours later and....

There are pits where the rust was really thick, but I don't think it really compromised the strength of the hook.

I'll share more later, but I literally dissolved all of the rust on anything I threw in there.... Just crazy.
Thanks for the review, could be good for reel cleaning as well.
I need to bathe in that and get the rust off of all my joints ;D
