Could open and rinse off your plano tackle boxes just like you do your rods/reels, then dump the water... rusty hooks still catch fish though aint no thang

I rinse my tackle and let it dry spread out on a towel. I don't bring much gear so less to rust. Mike

Main thing that helped me was that I do not put tackle back in the trays after using them. I just leave everything that got wet next to my seat and later place it in a bag or bin to take it home. I then throw all lures, reels, and rods in the tub and shower with them
![]() If I am lazy I will leave everything to air dry in there but sometimes I bring them out onto a towel too. Once everything is fully dried I place the lures, hooks, and such back into the trays. Seems to be the best so far. I used to let the lures and hook air dry on the kayak and then place them back into the trays for the trip home. Then I would rinse the entire trays. There was way more rust with this method...

Exactly right. Putting used tackle back into a sealed box just seals the moisture in and makes everything inside rust.

Take those little desiccant packs that come with shoes, textiles, just about anything - you know, "silica gel - do not eat" - and throw those in with your tackle. Change out when you get new ones.
I have some bigger ones I keep in my reel bins as well |

Same here. Never put a wet or unwashed lure back in the tray. Once at home I rinse them with warm water and hang them in the bushes in the backyard for drying.

Good call guys. Funny how something so trivial can potentially cause so much damage. Do you guys do anything to stop it once it starts? Isn't WD-40 a rust inhibitor? |

Some people use that along with a bunch of other sprays. I would be afraid of putting of fish with the scent...
