What Tony said...

I use small 4x4 (or so) HD zip top bags that I guess are gov't spec small parts bags that I got from a friend.

Never had a problem with them UNLESS I switch from eels back to plugs and put a used hook back in w/ the new ones.

Sounds like you're using the bronzed Mustad Live Bait hooks - 3047, I think or whatever it is - which I like, as long as you keep 'em touched up with a sharpening stone - but they do rust quick

Never have been that crazy about the Gami's - but that's also price-driven too

You could also try finding an Army decontamination pack at an Army Navy surplus store - that's what I use for my smokes and Zippo - slightly bigger than a pack of cigs, they have an O-ring type seal and a clip on a strap you can hang it with

Damn, Milo, I used to have a whole case of 'em, think I've given most away - if I can find another in my tackle room I'll let ya know and send ya one

thanx Chuck, I could use one of those for my seegars and I do use the mustads.....I will visit a jewler and try for some baggies...Tony how many do you have (since you dont use them anymore)

Milo,
You can get the baggies at CVS in the med container department. They are like 50 bags for $3.

Try plastic chewing tobacco containers inside a ziplock baggie. This is not completely waterproof, and it's bulky, but it's good enough if you are not swimming. They hold coiled leaders nicely.

Hey, Milo - I found one of those Army Decon cannisters in my tackle room last nite - it's the last one I've got, other than mine and you're welcome to it

I've got your address somewhere in my tackle shack too but damned if I can find it - PM me your addy and I'll send it to ya, amigo
