Overview
A single Flambeau tackle box built with Zerust corrosion-inhibiting material, weighing 9.28 ounces with a translucent shell for seeing what is stored inside.
Zerust is Flambeau's rust-prevention material, which continuously releases a corrosion inhibitor inside the closed box to protect stored hooks and steel terminal tackle, the main reason to pick this over a plain plastic case.
- Zerust corrosion-inhibiting material
- 9.28 oz weight
- Translucent shell
- Single unit
Who it's for
Anglers who store hooks, blades and other steel tackle and want built-in rust protection rather than a bare plastic case. Not built as a large multi-tray system for a full tackle collection.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Zerust material helps guard stored tackle against rust
- Light at 9.28 ounces
- Translucent shell for seeing contents
- Sold as a single box, not part of a stated tray or compartment system here
- No interior compartment count listed
Performance notes
Zerust material releases a corrosion inhibitor inside the sealed box, which slows rust on stored steel hooks and blades compared to a plain plastic case, and at 9.28 ounces the box itself adds little weight to a tackle bag.
