How should I organize my tackle box?

Organize by technique or target species rather than by lure type. One box for bass topwater, one for finesse, one for crankbaits, etc. This way you grab the right box for each fishing situation instead of searching through everything.

How do I prevent hooks from rusting in my tackle box?

Use Zerust-lined boxes or add silica gel packets to absorb moisture. Rinse saltwater tackle with fresh water after each trip. Let boxes air-dry open overnight before closing. Replace rusty hooks immediately as rust weakens them.
