Last night I was out fishing and realized that I had put a TRD Finesse (PB&J, to be specific) in the same pocket on one of my tackle bags as a Zoom fluke and a red bobber my little guy had been using. The result was not pretty

This was my first run-in with the power of the Elaztech over other plastic materials. Let's just say that y'all weren't joking when talking about it.

Those things are crazy. It’s like they are alive. 

Once is all it takes.

Kind of like spilling Spike It. You can bet I won't make either mistake again.

It happens fast too. That's why I keep them in the original package and they have a container all to themselves that they're stored inside in the boat.

They don't even really like being with different z-mans. I put some pink TRDs in a bag with some green pumpkin TRDs, and the result is a bag full of very bizarre pond scum cotton candy.

I think I’ve whipped this problem. I took all my Zman soft plastics and individually separated them with Saran Wrap then put them back in the bag. So far it’s keeping them from sticking together.

Unless your like me, I've got an orange spot and a chartreuse spot on my carpet.

 

My wife doesn't know what to think, she asked if I went fishing or if there was a strip club at the dump?

She said you smell horrible like rotten garlic and have glitter on your face and hands ???

 

 

I stick ripped/used plastics in the litting cargo pocket on my fishing shorts.  A few times I have forgot to clean it out between trips and a zman plastic ends up in there with them.  It's a really unpleasant thing to stick your hand into an hour later.
