Midfield, OH (July 23, 2026) — Anglers who fish hard know the two things that ruin good tackle fastest: water finding its way in, and rust finding its way onto every hook left unused for more than a few trips. Flambeau™ built the Zerust® Max Waterproof Tuff Tainer™ to solve both problems at once, giving serious fishermen a storage box tough enough for the harshest marine environments and smart enough to protect gear long after the tackle box lid closes.
At the heart of the WP5005ZM is Zerust® Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor technology, infused directly into the plastic itself. Once the box is sealed, it releases an odorless, FDA-safe vapor that settles on metal hooks, lures, and terminal tackle, interrupting the chemical reaction that causes rust before it ever starts. There’s nothing to spray, apply, or remember. The protection is built into the box and works quietly in the background for a minimum of five years.
Keeping water out matters just as much as keeping corrosion at bay, especially for anglers running offshore, in saltwater, or in rough conditions where a standard tackle box doesn’t stand a chance. An O-ring seal paired with three heavy-duty polycarbonate latches keeps the WP5005ZM watertight even when it’s stowed in a hatch, tossed in a boat bag, or splashed by every wave along the way.
Inside, the box offers up to 20 customizable compartments using 15 adjustable Zerust® dividers, giving anglers the flexibility to organize everything from small panfish jigs to bulkier saltwater tackle exactly how they want it. At 14 inches long, it’s sized to handle a serious tackle collection without becoming unwieldy on the boat or in a truck bed.
For anglers who’ve opened an old tackle box only to find a rusted mess where good hooks used to be, the Zerust® Max Waterproof Tuff Tainer™ offers a simple promise: gear that goes in clean comes out clean, trip after trip.
