Why Not Store Soft Plastics Out Of Their Bag?

[Jake P]

Plano 3731 bulk storage Is what it is. I also have one that is double that size but it takes up most of my tacklebag so i dont use it. With the 3731 i can still fit 3 other standard size plano boxes in my bag comfortably.

About how many bags of plastics can you fit in there and in the bigger one which I assume is the 7080? I'm debating ordering the 3731 or the 7080.

I keep mine all in their original bags, sometimes doubled up if there is enough room. Then I put them in tackle bags which are labeled to keep organized. I just find I can store more this way.

I used to take them out and put them into Plano boxes, but then everytime I would buy more stuff I would have to rearrange them. It got to be a pain, now I keep them in the original bags and store them in larger plastic bins by type.

Keep mine in plano boxes. No problems at all.

I keep mine in the bags. Biggest reason is why pay more money for something to store them in when you are already paying for something that they were made to be stored in. I am on a tight budget. So I can either pay $30 for something additional to store them in or keep them in the bags and buy $30 worth of new cranks, frogs, plastics, etc. I think that bait monkey knows what I will do....However, I can understand, after seeing pictures of some of the tackle collections you guys have, that organization is a big factor you have to deal with. So to each his own.

I from now on will store all my plastics in their bags. Over the weekend I went fishing and noticed all my black and blue senkos were gone but then I noticed all the black senkos had a tiny hint of blue still and realized all the black bled into the blue. Same thing happened will my black and chartreuse plastics.Only plastics I will store out of a package are ones that don't come in a package.

I fish from a float-tube (don't own a boat), so to maximize the selection while minimizing the quantity, I'll store my plastics in Plano 3600's - that fit my tube's pockets.

ON THE OTHER-HAND, I found whee I had accidentally mixed a couple of Elaz-tech (Z-Man) plastics with some "regular" plastics = a big melted-together mess! <doh!!!>

So going forward, I'm either going to keep all Elaz-tech TYPE baits in their bag OR in their own box.

im still learning, but from what i have seen, i decided to keep mine on their bags, and keep the bags in plano 3700 boxes... i can fit 8 bags per box, and fold them in a way that you can see all the colors... i also keep worms in a box, lizzards in another...

I keep all my soft plastics In the original bags and store them In the two side (zippered) pockets on either side of my tackle bag.

I know some wouldn't like this because it can be a pain looking for a particular plastic but for the most part I take the time to store the baits I "think" I will use the most that day In the mesh pockets In front.

I keep them in the original bags then have a gallon size bag with the color and type of worm, so it is easier to get to when I need it.
