Had any issues storing Powerbait plastics with other plastics? (Not talking ElaZtech.)

Loose or in the bags?

Together in trayed boxes.

I've never had any issues.

I have several plano boxes with loose plastics and I haven't seen any issues.

I keep similar colors together to keep them from bleeding colors.

colors bleed

I store all my soft plastics in the bag them come in.  Pulling them out of the package to store them in trays strikes me as a bad idea.   Sure, the colors might not bleed, but why take the chance?

 

Similar baits get stored, in their original packaging, in gallon zip lock bags.  So, I'll have a 10" power bait worm bag.   I'll have a 7" power bait worm bag.   There will be a Brush hog bag, a Netbait Mad Paca bag, a tube bag, and probably 20 other different bags.

 

Over the years, this storage system has worked for me.

I throw loose plastics in a tray for re-use and have never had a problem with powerbait mixed in with other plastics...it just loses it's pungency a bit from being out of the bag (not sure if that reduces it's effectiveness, though). 

 

Mine are in 3600 boxes by type and within each box by color.  I don't trust mixing different brands of plastics so that they are in direct contact with each other.  Never a problem of any kind stored/carried for me this way.

Thanks, all. 

 

I take mine out of the bags and store them in boxes by lure type. That way I can easily see them when pulling stuff for an outing. Overflow, though, is kept in original bags in gallon bags like Fishes in trees. (All ElaZtech are kept in original bags in gallon bags, except when taken for an outing. Then they are in zip-locks in my on-the-water working boxes. They are not stored in those boxes long term though. Bad things can happen with ElaZtech and other plastics, including bags and storage boxes.)

 

I keep colors, but not brands, together. Reds are particularly bad at bleeding. I'm esp careful with my whites and pearls. I've only recently added some Powerbait plastics, bc I liked the models and colors. They sure stink. Wasn't sure how they'd do with other plastics. Thanks for the responses folks.
