Swim bait leakage

Bought some swim baits last year and some are still in the package but they have a milky white stuff coming out of the head…or body anyone have this issue before and know what causes it

Are you storing them by themselves or rigged with hooks? I know my basstrix baits did this if I stored them rigged with hooks and weights. Pretty sure its the lead that does it.

Some swimbait companies don't coat their lead before pouring and if they sit to long there is a reaction which causes the milky color
most companies are now starting to coat the lead and it seems to be helping
they will still catch fish
