Completely agree. Always best to keep your soft baits in the original packaging. But if you MUST put Z-man in a storage case, the only approved case is the Flambeau “k-series”. This is a Styrene based plastic that doesn’t react like the cases that are readily available.
Insightful... Saw many errors/mistakes I’ve made over the years!
Thanks for the information
This video came one week too late for me. I made the mistake of storing a couple of baits in my bag I take in the Sea Doo. I try to limit my gear because of the limited space and last week I opened my bag and it was a puddle of goo! Luckily I only put three in the bag so not a big loss but I hate to loss any. Thanks for the video
I sometimes use fish oil and it seems to work with keeping soft plastics soft and it seems to increase the fish strikes.
Thanks! Great video with critical information that nearly all anglers can benefit from
I had gotten some slam shady paddle tails from salt strong a few months ago. And I love them. I haven't used artificials very much before seen trying the slam shady paddle tails I'm hook on them.
What is your opinion on mixing different plastics in a liquid within a bait locker (assuming you always watch to make sure the liquid is at a sufficient level and keep it stored in a location that is not hot)?
Would you recommend drying the soft plastic after use before returning to the pack?
Definitely wish information like this was a little more noticeable when getting into fishing. Usually buy the same/similar brands for plastics and they all play nice together. But bought a sort of "blind bag" of soft lures, not knowing a couple of them were made from a different type of plastics and just found out a couple sleeves of my storage melted together. Good to know for the future at least, wasn't sure if things got too hot somehow originally but this answered that eh.
I keep all my soft plastic baggies in a Z-Man bait Lockerz, holds over 30 baggies, better than the binder IMO.
Only really a zman and Yamamoto iusse . You mint have you white plastic turn a little pick in you mix strike king with other stuff. Other then that all the other stuff seems ok
Thanks, very infomative. So I need to take packs along and rig these kinds of baits at the fishing mark. What about after-session storage? Original pack with the rig if still useable?
Can you put some kind of oil on your plastic worms to make them slimy and to rejuvenate them? Maybe some kind of vegtable, sunflower oil?
Can you store loose worms in ziplock brand bags with out it damaging the worms?
Have y'all tested the waterproof plano tackle boxes as an alternative?
Hi tony, I recently started using gulp soft plastics. I purchased one of those gulp plastic screw on top containers to store my gulp lures. Will I be able to store different gulp lures in the same container as long as there is some of the liquid scent in there. Hope I’m not confusing you. Thanks
I have a few Live Target soft baits. Unfortunately I threw away the original packaging. How could I store them now?
can we use ziplock bags to store Zman soft plastic? Thanks.
