I just purchased a used Gold Tone BG250F, and some of the j Hooks are a bit grimy and have some corrosion or discoloration on them. I've seen a few different J hooks, so I'm not sure which ones are right for my banjo. I'm also replacing the head with a Remo 11" high collar head if that makes any difference.
Does anyone have experience doing this, or knows which hooks I need to order?

Thanks!

More info

They always have chrome and nickel
If ordering I let them substitute nickel if they don’t have chrome

Sounds like you have nickel maybe which can be polished
