Always keep the bags and boxes clean and dry before using it for your tackles. Just after every season, empty your tackle box or bag and wash the inside of it. Let it dry. Then lubricate the zippers of the bag or the hinges of your tackle box.

Also check your hooks if they are still sharp. Simply because a blunt hook is not doing a good job, you will lose a fish for that.

In a dry container, put the weights and smaller items there for storage and all the tools must be cleaned and polished.
