Walking Dead Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 How are you guys storing your jig hooks when not pouring them? Just moved to lower Alabama and I will be storing them in the shop inside the garage. Very humid and I have concerns of rust and corrosion.

walleyeking Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I keep mine in the plastic ammo boxes. They have an rubber air right seal and are cheap. You can even throw in a desiccant pack if you think you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamafan2277 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I've got a bunch of the desiccant packs that I can ship ya. I get them with my medicine and have a good hand full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I keep them in the original container be it cardboard or plastic. I have hooks that have been in the garage for over 10 years. I've never had rust problems and we get pretty humid in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Same as J-Man, in original box. Never had an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpNoodle Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 What finish is on the hooks? Here in North Texas I might get some rust spots on a few bronze hooks out of a box of 1000. If you're worried about it get some ZeRust tabs and put in with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Thanks guys. I will give this first summer a shot in the original boxes. I will keep a close watch. Just had a concern with the salt air being fairly close to the bay and saltwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 My local drug store will keep those little desiccant packs for me. One day and you'll have more than you can use in months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basscatlildave Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 I’ve lived here all my life and the little desiccant bags work great. Also a light mist of WD40 will do it too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
