I ask this because I am unable to use any of my soft plastic baits due to low water in the lake; however, I have time on my hands to get my few rods prepared for the coming season when the lake is at full capacity,. So, I have been putting new line on my spinning gear, and tying Prime Snap Minis for ease in changing components. I plan to attach Chatterbaits to the Snaps along with assorted tails. Question is: can I do this in advance us actually using them, without any damage to the tails, IF I keep them in a cool dark closet? Comments are most appreciated... For what's it worth... I'm basically on my 2nd season of Bass fishing... (unable to become unhooked! ? )

Thanks everybody..,. varied responses, really hard to pick a solution, each has a point, depending on when they are being used.

How far in advance can I completely rig soft plastic baits before using them?

I'm fishing 3-4 days a week, usually every other day. I check my line periodically through the day. On days I ain't fishing I'm pulling maintenance on everything.

I’m usually on the water before light so I get ‘em ready the evening before. FWIW, I’ve not had any rust when left on but I don’t go the salted route.
