Full Review
The Flambeau Tuff Tainer 4007 solves the one problem every angler hates: opening a tray to find rusty hooks. The Zerust corrosion-inhibiting dividers emit a vapor that protects metal, and it genuinely works. At around $10, it costs more than a basic Plano tray, but if you fish saltwater or store treble hooks, the savings on replacement tackle pays for itself quickly.
