pretty much same answer as couple of others
use VERY gentle luke warm spray of clear water first – might be all you need to get off dust
check for cracks or flaking – if any you should probably stop
use Dawn
very soft toothbrush or cotton swabs or cotton cloth wrapped around toothpick
might need to briefly dunk in mild bleach solution if evidence of mold or mildew
don’t display in direct sunlight – will cause fading

i agree with the wormist
toothbrush
,
also, if you have old bucktail lures, soak them in dawn dish soap overnight
then rinse clean
if you dont want odor,
for most lures, make a paste with baking soda, and scrub lightly with a toothbrush

for starters, do not use anything stronger than mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush for scrubbing. if any are painted wood, l would not touch them with even that for fear of removing any paint. plastic lures should be okay. l pulled a crankbait from the lake that was covered in growth and after a mild scrubbing, the finish looks almost new.
but painted plugs can get hairline cracks in the paint over the years and water may penetrate and lift paint chips which will lessen any value.
make a shadow box for display in their present condition.

Sounds like you have a treasure in lures. Personally I would just put them a special tackle box display and hold on to them. Cleaning would lesson their value by removing the vintage appeal. Buy new lures to fish with and start you own collection of usable lures. But that is my opinion.
Clorox or CLR will clean the lures but will leave an odor. Fish can smell and will not hold on to a lure with the smell. If you use any of these products or others, be sure to wash them in fresh water after cleaning giving time for the odor to subside then perhaps spray them with an odor eliminator.

I have always liked the Cisco spoons and the Canadian Wigglers. I have probably about 30 of the various spoons and probably close to that in the Canadian Wigglers. Floaters, Rattlers, jointed, large, small (1.5″) etc.
Here is their web page…http://canadianwiggler.com/ecom.asp?pg=p…

Good luck.

My list would include a tiny torpedo, a zara spook, fat gitzits in watermelon seed, some plastic jerk baits with weedless worm hooks, heavy spinnerbaits in chartreuse, perch colored crankbaits, some plastic worms (get some floating ones for the shaky head rig) some worm weights a few feather/hair jigs and some uncle josh pork rinds to go with them….

Here is some good information, but doesn’t talk much about Walleye or Pike, just Bass Lures. One article briefly covers saltwater stuff too.http://tips-for-bass-fishing.com/categor…
