In general, when examining any fishing lure you have made or bought it's a wise policy to repair it if you are least bit doubtful about its condition. Repairing usually means sandpapering part of lure body that is slightly chipped and then touching up with a small brush, using enamels or lacquers.

Replace hooks with new ones if they are badly rusted. When doing this it is important to use same size and weight as old ones so that action of fishing lure is not changed in any way. If damage is too bad and lure cannot be repaired, throw it away after salvaging any usable parts.

It doesn't pay to take chances with a fishing lure that is weak in any way. You may hook a record fish but lose it if lure is not dependable. Many anglers who buy their fishing lures in tackle stores often use them until they fall apart, before buying new ones. But if you make your own fishing lures you can afford to use only those that are still in good condition.

It is better to be safe than sorry.
