Evapo-Rust Review

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.



RUSTY ASS big hooks.



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.

You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Thanks for the review, could be good for reel cleaning as well.
