KEEPING RUST OF HOOKS

[Ldavis]

What is the best way to keep rust off hooks? I use plano boxes and try to dry them before I put them away.

drill small holes in your boxes. it lets air circulate to dry things out

i do that with my fly boxes caws the hair and feathers soak up a lot of water

possible solutions-

tooth pics/cardboard chips/silicone packs in your plano boxes.

dont put your lures back in the box wet.

spray regularly with kvd line and lure or similar corrosion inhibitor.

and the number one way.... keep your plastics in the planos and go buy flambaeu boxes with ZERUST inserts for your terminal tackle and hard baits. they work awesome and dont cost that much. you can get them at walmart. i fish in saltwater constantly and this is the solution ive come up with as i was tired of constantly replacing expensive mirrolure and rapala hooks.

i was changing 10 to 12 hooks and rings roughly every two months. now i only have to do one or two the whole year.

brilliant. 8-)

I bought a rust inhibitor thing at wally world for a couple of bucks. Works pretty darn good, but once I'm done with a jig i put it in an open plano box so it can air dry before it goes back in its normal box.
