Storing Tackle boxes in garage???

[nodie]

Looking to store my plano tackle boxes in the garage and wondering if the gas fumes or dust from the roads (live in a construction area) will ruin the plastics? Fairly new garage but still have a couple gas cans in the garage and worried the fumes will damage the baits or get impregnated in the plastics, scaring away fish when I use em?

 

Anyone store their plastics in the garage? Pictures of how you organize your tackle would be great

 

Thanks!

so long as the boxes are closed i dont think you'll have an issue. my best friend stores most of our stuff in his garage and its been good for years.. altho it also get used weekly..

i'd be scared for security reasons... most garage doors have cheap locks on them... plus no alarm...

Ouch... and I thought my rod breaking was a bad day. That hurts.

Not only gasoline fumes and security, but my garage is the hottest part of the house in the summer (often hotter than outside) and the coldest in the winter. I would not store my stuff in the garage.
