Zippers
Can someone recommend a a 3700 tackle storage system that the zippers do not corrode on. I have tried several and over time the zippers corroded shut and broke. I tried to use a wal-mart cooler for soft plastics that lasted about 2 months. I am going to a hardcase box to store the plastics. I also tried one of those 'soft plastic bidders' the binders split after about 1 year. There must be something that works, the zippers on my pants are continually doused with salt and they seem to work okay.

Re: Zippers
Look for bags with plastic zippers or brass( like your jeans). I have a Shimano bag I bought from Heath at South Georgia Outdoors that I've had for 4 years with no zipper problems. The cordura material is riped all to hell but the zippers are fine.

I have yet to find a zipper that this stuff won't free up and protect.

Re: Zippers
Similar to Bman's solution, I went down to Walmart and bought on of the black / grey storage containers, then stacked 5 smaller tackle storage boxes inside. It is water tight and also holds my GPS, pliers, etc. I am through fighting the saltwater corrossion on the tackle bags.
