Bass Mafia 3700 for Terminal Tackle

[Quarry Man]

Looking at getting a Bass Maffia 3700 for all my terminal tackle. I like the durability and custom feel. I also need to prevent rust, as i just rusted out most of my gear on a rainy trip. So what tips do you have? how big is each little section? is one little section big enough for 5/0 hooks and 3/4 ounce womb;e heads? i am making a list of what ill put in there. no weights only terminal stuff, like hooks and stops and bands.  i will make a spreadsheet later to make the transition and replacement easier.heres my list so far. trying to get to 48

but will 2 packs of 5/0 hooks fit in one section? will weighted 5/0 swimbait hooks fit? Will 3/4 oz wobble heads fit? thanks

2 regular packs of 5/0 hooks? Yes...

swimbait hooks and larger 3/4 wobble head would be better suited with 2 slots. The deep 3700 coffin can do it in 1 slot with no issues. You would bettter utilize space if you put your 1,2,3 size wacky each on a hair pin and out them in 1 slot. You could probably fit 100 wacky hooks in 1 slot

I don't think I have ever in my life stocked that many styles and sizes of hooks.  I don't combine my hooks and jigs in the same box, either.  Mainly because I have three deep Hydro-Flow boxes full of them.  Speaking of, if you want to avoid rust, get the Hydro-Flow.  The key to avoiding rust is air flow.  All a water proof case does is trap moisture in.

i've been thinking about doing this too but i can't get myself to spend $50 on a tackle tray

So you think I should put my jighwads in another box? Not a bad idea! Thanks for the advice on the airflow. I will not put any used hooks back in my box, I will also allow all my baits to dry completely to avoid rust.

Im likely getting the plain 3700 Bass MAfia, not the terminal Tackle one. I feel like it doesn't hold enough hooks. I might get two weight holders though...
