Cleaning Lures

Putting the soft water tackle away until for the winter. Curious to know what you use to clean/polish your lures. Anyone used WD-40? Have heard it is used but havent had the nerve to try it.

To be honest I never clean my lures, I will change out hooks and cut off pieces of line though.
I will clean rods and reels, on rods I just use a damp cloth on the blank and magic erasers on the cork. On reels I just use q-tips with water and re-lube the bearings and worm gear with hot sauce.
Magic erasers are awesome for cleaning soiled corks BTW.

I always clean my rods. Give the bearings a nice shot of oil before putting them away. You'd be amazed how much difference it'll make when you pull them out again in the spring
