Rust on your lures in your tacklebox??

[1911crazy]

I have stopped having rusted stuff now for four years in my tacklebox.  When i return home I leave my tacklebox open so all the wet stuff can dryout.   And when it rains I try to keep my tacklebox shut as much as I can but it still gets wet and i leave it open for days to dryout completely.  I also keep all my plastics that are salt impregnated away from my crankbaits it seems that it takes very little moisture to kickin the salt and start rusting everything in the box it moves faster than the plague.  I use a different tacklebox for my plastics to keep this from happening too.  All my baits look new after years of use.                       BigBill

I'm posting this because I was just lazy and left a tube and a plastic worm in my crankbait box after a few days it tarnished a two inline spinners and rusted the hook in the tube.   I take care of my tackle because it ain't free and just got lazy but mostly its faster to keep some plastics in my main box so its faster to change baits quickly but I paid the price for sure. Its lessons learned for sure and i just wanted to pass it on.   Lastyear I was putting my used plastics in a zip loc bag and saving them I guess I'll have to go back to it again.(forgot)

BigBill,
    Try using canned air(the stuff you can buy at the puter store for cleaning the keyboards), just give a squirt on your lure before you put it away and it will be dry. I was having a problem with jigs rusting due to the skirts staying wet. I now squirt it with the compressed air and the skirt is dry as a bone. Doesn't take up much room in your tackle bag either.
