    CLR with a blue scrubbie worked for me in the past.

    Fine steel wool and/or small wire brush.

    Soak in detergent/water – clean with old toothbrush. Plugs cleanup pretty easy – replace hooks if too far gone.

    Only problem with plastic boxes,,,,they hold in moisture.

    I have been colecting old baits for years. Mothers Chrome Polish is what we use for baits that may value into hundreds of dollars should work just fine for your cranks as well
