Kosher pickling salt. Get a Rubbermaid container that will hold your plugs without having to squeeze them in. Take the kosher Salt and fill the container to a level about 3/4 of the depth of the container. Drizzle water over the salt until it has the consistency of wet sand ( you can poke your finger into it and it leaves a nice hole with no water build-up on the bottom of the conatiner. Your ready. Store in the fridge between trips but never freeze. Check salt occasionally for dampness and add as needed. If rust occurs remove the offending hardware and change the salt out. After a while some skins will bleach out from the salt. It's ok cause the fish still hit them especially on eelskin jigs but you can change out the skin if you like the blue side or dark side better. Rig a couple of each as some nights they like blue side and some they prefer the dark side.

Why even try.........
