Keep Hooks New Looking

[DockRat]

Read this in a fishing magazine.
Could be old news to some but was new to me.

It said put a little baby powder in your plastic hook assortment boxes.
By sprinkling some powder over the hooks and it will absorb moisture and prevent rust.



Let them dry out before you put them back too and saltwater guys should rinse the salt off.

And I thought you were going to say stop fishing! Good looking hooks are easy when you save the little packets of anti-humidity packs from the stuff my wife buys online. My son sprays any used hook with wd40 before he puts it back into his tackle box ... it stinks, he says it's a great attractant.

you mean those little packets you get in vitamin bottles etc.? that's a really good tip. i always throw those away.

Those are the ones ... no more rust slime in the box.
