I have lots of ultra hair clousers (and other flies) tied on several different manufacturers stainless hooks. Some have been around for more than 5 years and I have never noticed that problem. (They have been kept just south of you in Venice). I do keep them in Flambeau boxes that have Zerust. Maybe that stuff really works.....
