Zoom Blue Glimmer / Disco Color Soft Plastics Turning Tan In Storage ?

Featured Replies

I've noticed my Zoom Disco and Blue Glimmer color soft plastics turn a tan color while in storage - all are in their original packaging kept in a cool , dry , dark area ... Anyone experience the same or know the reason ? *My hypothesis is that there is something in the composition of those specific Zoom colors that makes them turn a tan color after a certain amount of time in storage . I have also seen three different tackle stores show the same Zoom colors turning a tan color while on store pegs waiting to be sold - so I know it's not an isolated occurrence .   Interesting to note I have not experienced this issue with other Zoom colors - just the Disco color series and especially the Blue Glimmer colors having this issue . I won't be buying any more of these specific Zoom colors UNLESS the objective is to use them up right away - but definitely not for any type of extended storage (i.e. a few months+) . 

Yes, I have purple disco they do the same thing, oddly they also absorbed purple from a worm in the same bag.

Contact Zoom!

That’s strange. I found some zoom trick worms in disco violet in an old tackle box that I haven’t used for 25 years, and they looked normal. They work fine too because I’ve caught fish with them since then.

For grins , I'll still fish them (Zoom Swim'n Fluke Jr.) but my Blue Glimmer is now this weird Blue Glimmer / Tennessee shad color ... Yes , I will contact Zoom and share what they have to say about the colors turning Tan .

This.  I've had some great results with 'miscolored' worms.

Absolutely. I always mix a few up in one section of my box because it works.
