Will A Red Utility Box (Plano Style) Change Baits Colors?

Featured Replies

I was at Academy this afternoon and saw a Coastal Conservation Association Plano style utility box.  I was thinking, that would be a cool box for jigs, or terminal tackle or something, cause it stands out sooooooooo much.  I ended up getting a 3700 and a 3600 size cause they were very cheap compared to other Plano/Flambeau boxes.  The 3700 was $4.99 and the 3600 was $2.99.  I do  a lot of fishing with my uncle so I throw my boxes in with his quite a bit.  If mine were red, it would be incredibly easy to pick out mine and quickly get what I need. Or for those who just keep their own there, it would be crazy easy to pick out your Terminal from the rest.   Anyway, we have all seen that putting a junebug worm into a bag of watermelon worms will change the watermelon worms, this may be a dumb questoin, but do any of yall think the red plastic could change leak color into the jig skirts or into plastics if I put them in there? 

 

I just put a regular clearish plano divider into the red box to see if it changes it at all... Gonna put a light colored bait or two in there for a few weeks, just to test it out...

I think maybe if the sun hit for a while it would. Dont take my word for it though, not to sure

Do clear boxes make your bait clear? I think you'll be fine. "Worm proof" boxes don't bleed.

Well, clear boxes dont have a color to bleed into the plastics haha. I just dont want the red to bleed into my baits and tint them pink.

I had some clear senkos that I purposely threw a reddish bait in with and it turned them a really cool color that I like. It's really got that wounded baitfish look to it with splotches of red in places
