    How to keep your hooks rust free?

    Just wondering if there are any tricks or how to's as to keeping hooks rust free. I have been going through my tackle lately and have been noticing some rust on hooks especially on my crankbaits which also causes rust stains on the baits themselves. I know the obvious is to change out hooks but I was wondering if there is anything you can put in your boxes. I use plano 3700 series boxes. Thanks in advance.

    go to a local pharmacy and ask for some of the silicone packets that they throw away daily.

    Put a couple in your tackle box and you are good to go.

    Cheap quick fix. Break off the ends of some Qtips & put them in each one of your compartments.

    I leave too many on the bottom of the lake for that to be a problem.
