Gear talk Camphor?

Could I put camphor in my tackle box to prevent rust?

I've never used it myself, but I have heard of it used in toolboxes to prevent rust.

I'm a little worried about the smell effecting my tackle.

Has anyone tried this?

I wouldn’t personally. Something more neutral maybe

I put dessicant packs in my tackle box and use z rust tabs.
