Great idea !

I carry 2 Woodstream plastic containers. 1 for the plastics ie gooey bobs and pink worms, the other 1 for my metal. They are water tight via a seal around the edge. It's a must as I hate rust on my metal and hate my plastics to bleed onto each other over time!

These containers have 5 compartments each and are about the size of a normal fly box. Fits perfect into my zippered pockets in my complete angler vest.

I believe Plano also makes water tight containers but the hinges are brittle.

Little tip I picked up from a friend in AB - after the day of fishing, once you've dried your gear, place the little anti-moisture packs that come with pills (I asked at Safeway Pharmacy and they saved a big bag for me from their large bottles) inside your gear box.  Keeps any residual moisture from rusting things up!  This is extremely important for those that store their gear in waterproof containers - it keeps water/moisture IN as well as out!

Desiccant packs, i use them for other things but that's a great idea getting them from the pharmacy, thanks.

Though my boxes, lower vest etc get below water level a few times every season for some reason... so that wouldn't work for me lol. I leave them open at home and give the metal a quick in season polish or two every year.

Also, spoons will scratch finish sliding around in boxes. Ive lined them with cloth, works OK except for the moisture issue, and i will keep certain ones in little bags, works very well.

The no rust ones are good I have over 50 spinners and spoons in a box that's 4x8 the anti rust works great

My company sells the desi pak 1/3 units, if you want a pail of 700 of them it's about $120.
