Ask your local "friendly pharmacist" to save the dessicant canisters from any manufacturer medicine bottles...
When you store your hardbaits, or hooks, in the Planos, throw a couple of these in there with the baits...You dont need one in every compartment, but the more the better...These canisters will "adsorb" moisture and help prevent rust in the long run...
I have been experimenting with this for two years now, and find that my hooks and the overall condition of my bait hardware is lasting much better than it use to...
Be sure to instruct the pharmacist to store the dessicants in a sealed bottle until you pick them up from him...Because if exposed to ambient air, they will adsorb atmospheric moisture and fill up before you can get your hands on them...
Good long term protection in somewhat sealed tackle boxes...
