Zmans storage options? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Unless they are making binder clips out of 316 stainless or some super durable plastic I doubt you could find one that would last a month.

Zman is the only plastic I use, and I have 20-25 packages of them in one of those clear waterproof boxes from West Marine. Stashes easily under the seat of my PA. I figure if the worst should happen, it floats and I wont be losing sixty bucks in Zman's like you might in a binder.
When I get a new pattern, I take two out of the package and rig it up to a lead head, then put it back in. That way there is always a rigged one waiting to be tied on.
If you've ever used Zman's, you know how they can be a pain to rig since they are so tough. I'd rather do it in the comfort of my kitchen counter than on the water when I really need it...
