Hi everyone!
I’ve been pondering this question a while. Unfortunately I can’t seem to find an adequate answer online so I thought I’d ask a general opinion.
As I’m sure many of you can relate, I have a accumulated quite a bit of tackle over the past few years (largely thanks to the new subscription boxes from various companies). Naturally this has led to a large pile of hard baits piled in their respective packages. Ironically, my tackle bags are pretty barren (probably 20% total space used) because I only store baits that I have used.
I’ve been reluctant to remove any baits I have yet to use (mainly because I either forget about them or haven’t had the chance to yet). This is largely thanks to my grandfather, who has always preached about keeping baits in their package in case you don’t ever use them. (He collects antique fishing tackle now)
So my question is, what are your opinions on storing tackle (specifically hard baits) still in their factory packaging? Do you keep them stores separately or do you remove them and place them in your tackle bags?
