How Do You Store Soft Plastics?

Featured Replies

One thing I like about putting baits in a box vs leaving the in bags is that they don't get bent out of shape to the point you need to boil them.  Some baits are more prone to this then others, surprisingly have had issues with zoom finesse worms in the past and some creature baits.  The better grubs also have issues with this.

 

That said it is time consuming to set them nicely in the box, but for me it is worth it.

    You'll be fine storing them like that. I prefer to leave mine in the original package and store them in binders or Ziplocks.

    I see one major issue that I am surprised no one else noticed...you have an empty section so go buy more bait!Then go buy another 3700 and repeat the process again and again. Works for me.

  • That will work. I keep my most heavily used baits in boxes, and those I use less frequently I in the original packaging in ziplock bags. I'll label those normally by bait type.

See I ran Into the sliding in the compartments and bunching up when I put the box in my back pack. That's why I'm playing with the freezer bag for the original bag set up im still not satisfied lol. A lot of my creature and beaver baits bunch up bad since I store the box in my pack vertically

Never thought of this but thats a good idea! 

Keep the ones you use most often stocked and loaded in a box but less frequent in the bags 

Good idea! 

Thanks, I just got tired always digging through the bags trying to find the pack I was looking for. When I did find it I'd usually pull it out and tuck it in a in a speed bag so I could find it again easily, but then I'd forget where I put it by the next time I went fishing and I'd be back to digging all over again. This way I know where they are, and I know what I've got and what I need to get and they all stay within reach when I need them.

I store mine vertically as well. the sliding issue can be resolved by putting MORE bags in there  :eyebrows:

 

 

I put most of them in a 4 corners system and there is usually some room in the middle for the smaller bags like robo worms.

This is how I roll. One of the bags has craws and creature baits, one has swimbaits and flukes, and the other has my worms.

The box will sometimes bend your plastics if you are keeping them in a compartment that is shorter than they are, but for now I'll take the organization.

For those of us who bring bags...

Regarless of the style of bag you have, top or side loading, get the boxes with the horizontal or vertical dividers.

They will lay flat and not bunch up on the end of the divider.

This was today's attempt. The second I vertically slide it into my back pack everything bunches up bad
