Tackle - preventing rust

Keep your tackle box in the freezer, the low temperature slows the rusting process. Rinsing gear in freshwater after use also helps, as does keeping any saltwater out of your tacklebox.  Put any tackle you've used in a plastic container and rinse it when you get home, dry thoroughly and put away once completely dry. Don't keep those hooks that look slightly rusty, chuck them out and buy some new ones. Hooks are relatively cheap these days and they'll cause everything else in you tackle box to rust
