Flambeau™ ZERUST®

Protect Fishing Tackle From Rust at the Molecular Level with Flambeau’s® ZERUST® Storage Solutions.

Middlefield, OH (May 29, 2025) – Protect investments in fishing tackle like hooks and sinkers and other metallic angling tools such as pliers and line cutters at the molecular level from rust and corrosion with Flambeau’s® ZERUST® technology. Fishing hooks are the only part of tackle that comes into direct contact with the fish; it just makes sense for anglers to protect what is most critical to a successful outing on the water. 

The Zerust® Max Tuff Tainer® line builds on the Flambeau legacy as the pioneering force and industry leader in anti-corrosion tackle storage. This dynamic innovation offers anglers an enhanced level of Zerust® VCI vapor technology now impregnated directly into the entirety of each box. Flambeau’s exclusive Zerust® VCI products consist of a proprietary chemical formulation that releases an invisible, odorless, tasteless, and FDA-safe vapor that diffuses throughout an enclosed Tuff Tainer® and settles on all exposed metal surfaces to form a protective molecular layer. This protective layer inhibits the electrochemical reactions that cause rust and corrosion to form. The result of storage in a ZERUST® container is unmatched rust prevention performance for a minimum of 5 years in the most extreme environments.

Flambeau’s® ZERUST® offers anglers an unmatched economic advantage when storing metallic tackle like hooks, swivels, and tools. Keeping fishing tackle organized and ready when it’s time to go fishing can’t be overstated. Choosing an organizational tackle container from the ZERUST® line protects tackle without extra time, energy, or work. Why not organize and store tackle and tools with the added advantage of ZERUST® technology?  

The 4000 and 5000 ZERUST® MAX Tuff Tainer® series by Flambeau® provides anglers with various options regarding container size, dividers, lids, and latches. There’s a ZERUST® storage option to fit all types and sizes of fishing tackle. From plastics to plugs and panfish to saltwater adventures, there is a ZERUST® MAX Tuff Tainer® that fulfills the task at hand.
