Joe the plasti Dip will last for years, the one thats on the spinner bait needs to be redone but that one was done about 10 years ago and turned soft, I just grabbed the first one out of the box that had a trailer hook on it . And they really do work when they are biting short and can make a bad day into a good day and the treble hook one's i use on Jigs for when Walleyes are hitting short . Good luck and keep us posted on how they work for you .
