Default Tackle Bag/Box/Bucket Recommendation

I fish a combination of charter and head boats throughout the year. On head boats I obviously bring my own rigs and depending upon the charter I will also bring my own rigs.

I mainly bottom fish and will bring my surf plug bag with me should it be that time of year for albies/blues/bonito etc....

The last 3 years I have been utilizing a 5 Gal white bucket...not gonna lie it does the trick! Old coffee can inside for my weight along with sandwich bags for rigs. Works awesome as a trash can in a pinch as well and IT DOES NOT RUST! The drawbacks are the amount of water it collects per trip inside and well I always find a little clam after the fact!

That being said I really need a tackle bag/box system for my trips (about 15-20 per year). Could anyone recommend a tackle storage system that I can use for both bottom fishing rigs/weight/pliers/knife. Does not have to be big as I will load it up prior to each trip.
One of the key things for me is anti rust zippers and a material that will not take me 5 minutes to get a hook out if it gets snagged by accident.

I tried the Cabellas bag and it was pure crap (zipper broke prior to my first trip). I don't mind spending a little cash on a quality product.

Thanks for the recommendations and links if you have em!
