>>1989065I noticed there is often a silica bead in hook packages, and figured it was worth a try. I tend to carry large amounts of tackle in my duffel bag, but I only grab a few faves and put them in a tupperware when I go out on the water. I am changing out stuff pretty often, so these help dry out the excess moisture for sure. I also carry toothpicks for soft plastics. Senkos and stuff this won't work, but with Texas rig or swimbaits, rig the plastic, then bring the head just over the hook eye. Insert toothpick into the hook eye and clip the excess. I have tripled the life of most of my soft plastics doing this. They hold fast and don't tear apart as easily. Pic related.
