I would change the hooks. After they get rusty for a long time, they get
pitted and weak. For a few bucks you can change the hooks to new and
better hooks.

I change hooks on my lures anyway. I take off the cheap hooks that they
come with, and replace with one of the super sharp brands, such as
Gamatsu.
