gear storage

In regard to moisture, I know a few guys that put rice in the plano boxes with the gaskets, and that absorbs the moisture. When I used to use those planos, I would use silica packets that I found online. They were cheap, like a 100 for just a few bucks. You could also "re-charge" them in the oven when they got wet.

Now, I travel light and just bring a couple hooks, some terminal tackle, an iron or 2, and maybe a couple pieces of lead. I put that in a ziplock in my center hatch. About as low tech as possible, but its easy

I guess ill have to learn to travel light, I'm used to fishing in a boat so I take everything. I just like knowing I have a lot of options

Its funny,all the junk we drag along and dont really use.Think of going on a summer tuna trip when literally all you need are a few extra hooks.

I use that non slip matting stuff that kinda looks like a net. Can't remember what it's called but the sportboats use it on their galley tables. Anyways, I got the widest size that I could find, cut a length a little longer than the length from the drive well to the seat drains of my revo. That allowed me to fold the ends up on both end to keep anything from rolling past. The small plano boxes that I put into the hatch under the hatch bucket do not move even in rough conditions. Just a cheap fix that works for me.

Hi steveo thanks for the idea of the rice thing.
What I've done is us the dry inserts that skiers use in the boots that I got from Marshalls. I would put one in a box with my tackle that is still damp after rinsing them with fresh water. And also with my ff since it too has some moisture after washing. this has worked well for me but had I known about the rice I would have done that instead.

The rice thing does work. They use that to draw moisture out of cell phones and other electronics that get wet.

Like you I have found that it's easier to travel light and take what you need and not what you will not use. Ziplock bags are great for storing sinkers and hooks.
