Middlefield, OH (September 18, 2025) – Protecting and organizing hooks, baits, swivels, and sinkers allows anglers to be efficient with precious time and maximize every cast. Designed with Flambeau’s ZERUST® technology, Slim Tuff Tainers™ by Flambeau® provide the perfect storage, protection, and organization for today’s anglers and their tackle.
The ZERUST Slim Tuff Tainer Lineup builds on the Flambeau legacy as the pioneer and industry leader in anti-corrosion tackle storage. 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 the Slim 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. Storage in a ZERUST container results in unmatched rust prevention performance for a minimum of 5 years in the most extreme environments. This dynamic innovation offers anglers an enhanced level of ZERUST VCI vapor technology, now integrated directly into each box.
The Slim Waterproof Tuff Tainers by Flambeau pack a boatload of terminal tackle into a “slim” profile. The Slim Tuff Tainer lineup includes three options, offering anglers a range of choices for critical storage, tackle organization, and success on the water.

Proudly Made in the U.S.A.
There’s a reason why the U.S. military turned to ZERUST-infused solutions to safely protect advanced weapon systems stored on the decks of naval ships during transoceanic voyages: uncompromised anti-corrosion protection for the harshest marine environments. Flambeau’s ZERUST MAX Tuff Tainer® product line makes exceptional rust and corrosion protection readily available to all anglers and marine enthusiasts.
*The exact extent to which the product effectively emits an operative degree of corrosion-inhibiting vapors beyond five years is dependent on multiple variables, including atmospheric factors and user application.
