I have never had any of mine ever rust to my knowledge. I just soak them in some hot water and rinse to clean the mud off ,then pick any grass/roots that may be in the jaws and that's usually plenty good enough.

I believe they are made of Stainless Steel and really shouldn't rust. Maybe some of yours were not constructed of good stainless steel.

I like to wash my Albanos frequently seems they work better with less friction. But I have set them many times without cleaning them but it is a good idea every now and them. They can get caked up at times.

Josh I believe he was referring to the rust on the traps being cleaned off.
