Rusty hooks and buying swivels

[Gatiepie2]

Hi Guys
Two questions.
1. How do remove surface rust from hooks without leaving a smell that might put fish  off?

2. Where can one buy swivels in a box of a 100 or so? Tackle shops are selling them at about R8 for 10. If you buy power swivels they are R14.50 for 10. I have come the last few that I bought from Western Accessories years ago. I paid about R20 - R30 for a box of 100.
Thanks

Swivels, why don't you try Kingfisher in Durban or Ganies?

Keep in mind Power Swivels are generally expensive.

Send "Khan" on sealine a pm.

Sometime ago, a topic/discussion was posted under "Tackle Tips" regarding hooks and stowage/preservation there of.

I will search for it later in the day and mail you the link.

There is nothing you can effectively do with rusted hooks. Throw them away in my opinion and in the future look at rust prevention.

I haven't seen swivels in bulk in ages!

Probeer bruin assyn vir die hoeke laat dit so 24 uur staan. Beste is maar net om nuwe hoeke te koop.

Kyk bietjie na die pakkies Tsunami swivels. Ek dink die no. 4 (93lb) kos R9 vir 20 en een nommer kleiner is R9 vir 25.

Perhaps the best thing to do is to just take enough hooks/swivels for a trip, place them in proper watertight contrainers. Thus you don't risk a complete "rust out" should some get wet. Keep a bag/box/tray as a "store"  in which is stock up with goodies that you'll need. Then prior to a trip make sure you have stocked up.
