FLW Pro Fishing Tip of the Week
Walmart Pro Wes Strader, Spring City, Tennessee
Those toolbox liners that absorb moisture so that tools won’t rust will also keep fish hooks from rusting, which is why I use them in my tackle boxes. I’ll cut out a piece to cover the whole lid of a Plano storage box, then cut out smaller pieces to go in the smaller compartments where I keep hooks or various lures. When I’m fishing and it starts sprinkling, or it’s just a misty morning, I don’t have to worry so much about the hooks or other metal parts of a lure getting a little wet and then start rusting. It’s a good idea to replace the liner about once a year.
