I looked through the FAQ's on Senko's and didn't see this, so I'm sorry if I'm double posting. Anyway...

I purchased the Senko kit that comes in the 3600 box over the weekend. I had some good success with them, as this was my first time ever using them. So, I was wondering if there's a huge difference in keeping them in a utility box over keeping them in a bag. They caught fish, so I know they work coming out of the box and I wouldn't mind keeping them in a box, but I was wondering if I should put them in bags. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

It makes absolutely no difference.

Plastics keep better sealed up and out of the light. One option is a large enough zip lock bag that the 3600 can fit in OR individual sandwich size bags for each individual worm color.

It makes absolutely no difference.

What I should have said was, you won't have those worms lying around long enough for age to matter.  You'll be buying more soon enough.  Yes, they work that well.

It doesnt make a difference, just keep it out of the hot sun.

X1000! - No one could have said it better!

Thank goodness SOMEONE caught the drift, LOL.  ;D

I keep most of the plastics I actually fish in a 3600. It includes

i/2 a sextion for weights, the other for hooks. Then one section

for Kut-Tail, one for Senkos, one for Gitzits and Kreatures and

another for a mixture of Larew Salty Ring Worms and Roboworms.

Many have been kept there for years!

Some "reserves" are kept in my tackle bag others are stored in my

fishing room. All reserves are in original bags at room temperature and in the dark. Although I can't seem to resist buying a new bag

of something now and then, many of my soft plastics are 5 years

old and some may be 10 or 12. Apparantly, soft plastics never age.

Nice! Thanks guys! I certainly will be fishing plenty more with these. I think I'm going to give the Trick Sticks a go when I fish out these Senkos.

Just make sure that when you store your 3600 that you lay it flat. If you store them upright make sure the worms are horizontal NOT vertical. If they are stored vertically they will all bunch up at the bottom & if exposed to heat they will warp leaving you with a bunch of senkos that are no longer straight.  Yes I've had this happen.  Yes they will still catch fish when they are warped but not as well IMHO.

Does that make sense. :-/ ;D

the only real problem with the storage of soft-plastics in a box in my opinion is about scented ones...in this case i prefer to leave them in their own bag...but for every other type of soft lure the box is a very efficient and clean solution...especially if you have to store plastics in hundreds of types and color in your boat ;)

If they start to get hard, put them in a ziplock with garlic cooking spray, Ive done this to a few and they have caught bass still.

The bag is much better. The Box will absorb moisture from used baits, and maybe oil/scent, which will warp your boxes. The bag keeps them more oily, and its more airtight than the tackle box. I don't know if I have cheap boxes, (Shimano), but keeping plastics in them warped them to the point where the sectional dividers didn't even fit anymore.
