Keep your lures in top condition

Discover the best ways to care for your Born2fish custom squid jigs and other fishing lures. Proper maintenance ensures they last longer and remain effective for countless catches.

The importance of lure care

At Born2fish, all our custom squid jigs are individually airbrushed by hand and finished with a clear protective coating. This special treatment helps protect the custom paintwork and keeps your jigs looking their best. To get the longest life from your Born2fish jigs, we recommend following these simple care tips.

Essential tips for longevity

Handle with care

Avoid dropping your jigs or throwing them around in your tackle box. Although they are clear coated for protection, hard impacts can still cause scratches, chips, or damage to the finish.

Store them separately

Avoid storing your jigs loose together with other jigs or hard tackle. Constant contact can cause scratches and damage to the custom finish. Using individual jig sleeves, compartments, or a jig case is recommended.

Cleaning for lasting performance

Wash after every use

Salt water can cause corrosion over time. After fishing, gently wash your jigs with fresh water and rinse them thoroughly to remove salt and residue.

Use car wash soap

For cleaning, use a normal car wash soap. This gentle cleaning solution helps to preserve the custom paintwork and clear coating, ensuring your lures remain vibrant and effective for longer.
