Do you ever have rusty or oxidized hooks? It doesn’t take much for a little moisture to ruin a whole tackle box full of hooks. Start saving the small packets you find in packaging after you go shopping. The same way these “freshness” packs keep food, shoes, and medications from being damaged by moisture, they also can help in your tackle box. Place them in your gun boxes, too! Just remember to replace them from time to time, since they will eventually reach their maximum absorbency.
