    flambeau Zerust utility boxes?

    Does these flambeau boxes really work to help prevent rust? I've had some hooks and split rings rust on my cranks and jerkbaits and I want to prevent this.

    What has worked best for is to drill a bunch of small holes in all my boxes. Started doing this years ago. I tried some of the similar "rust proof" boxes over the years and none of them worked.

    X2. They have TERRIBLE lip seal and if you get in a monsoon moisture will seep into boxes. Zrust will not help then.............

    They work for me. Flambeau changed the design of their boxes, which I don't like, but that's a different subject.

    I don’t put lures back until they’ve dried off which helps. I take the extra blue tabs and put them in my mafia boxes, so good so far.
