soft plastic storage?

Featured Replies

So far I have been leaving all of my soft plastic baits in there original packaging, and my tackle bag is getting kind of cluttered. Just wondering how u guys store your plastics?

thanks

BPS soft sided worm bags

I also leave them in the original bags so when I run low, I know what to buy.  I bunch all similar baits together and put a rubber binder around them.  All the bundles go into a plain canvas bag.  Before a trip, I usually put the ones I think I'll be using on top of the bag.

I just rotate the bags they came in.  I add the cheap stuff in with the more expensive scented stuff.  Figure the cheap plastic might pick up some of that awful powerworm smell.  I think I tend to own a wee bit less plastic than you're average person here though.

I use ziploc bags, then place 3700 boxes.

Be careful about mixing soft plastics!!! The colors will bleed ;) :'(...

Put one color/brand of soft plastic in a Ziplock bag, then put those bags in a Freezer Ziplock bag, don't forget to label. Or, leave them in the original packaging, then put them in a Freezer Ziplock bag.

if you just put them in like a plano plastic tackle drawer will the plastics "dry out" if they are not scented like gulp or powerbait?

Bps extreme worm bag!Its great,has clear plastic bags and it keeps everything nice and neat!!!!

I put 5 or 6 or each bait in the snack sized zip lock bags.  About 5 or 6 of these bags takes up the same amount of room as one of the original bags with 25 baits in them.  After each trip I refill the bags so I don't run out next time.   This saves a lot of room, and is less weight to carry around

X2. I guess you could always cut the label out too and insert it in that BPS worm bag with the worms. But I'd rather limit how much plastic I buy so I'll stick with keeping them in original bags.  ;)

i put mine in those little plastic boxes to save space. i haven't had any problems with that but even if they did, it's not like you couldn't just add some berkley bass attractant to it. and besides, everything i use is salted, and this won't have anything to do with salt as salt doesn't dry out.

So it is ok to just leave them in the original bags?  Should I maybe put them inside a zip-lock bag as well?

Thanks, ;)

I keep them in the original bags and then put them inside ziplock bags.  I can pull out one ziplock bag and have all of the same baits together.

I keep them in original packaging then put them all in a 2 (double layerd) plastic grociery store bags

Then just bring what im going to use in a ziplock freezer bag.

Original bags hung on a peg board in the garage. Quick glance tells me what I need to restock on.

Friends tell me it looks like a tackle store, but I still keep them that way.

I use the plano stowaway boxes it has a bunch of compartments and I put the bait in its organil package in the box. So I have four of these boxes I keep my senkos in one and beavers in another and I just throw them in my tackle compartment in my boat and just grab whatever I need when I need it. It works pretty good and everything is nice and organized.
