Surf fishing hooks should be stored in a cool and dry location, shielded from direct sunlight, to maintain their integrity. If possible, store them in a tackle box with the barbs facing down to prevent snagging.
In addition, it is vital to maintain the cleanliness of the hooks and prevent rust or corrosion. Achieve this by regularly cleaning them with an oil-based cloth and storing them in a lubricant, such as WD-40, for optimal preservation.
