soft baits

[SuthernHaze]

On the thread about showing your tackle. i see alot of people take there plastics out of the bags and put them in the plano type containers.  does this not make them dry out faster

[Shane J]

No, doesn't seem to anyway. I do the same thing, just keep replenishing what's in the Planos, and all the rest stay in the bags at home.

Depends on the brand, but most will be fine.

I keep my "reserves" in their original packages.

For everyday use, a smaller Plano with five

sections for soft plastics and one divided

vertically for hooks and weights. These baits

are ready to go: Senko, Kut Tail, Tubes/Kreatures,

Fat Ika and 7 1/2" Larew Salty Ringworms/

Roboworms.

I keep all Rage Tail in their molded package.

Rage Tail are worth a little extra money.

Besides being effective and unique, every

bait is delivered in perfect condition.

I haven't had a problem with them drying out and I've been doing it that way for years.  Like others said, I keep the 'reserves' in the garage in the original package and replenish my plano boxes when they get low.  It's a great way to keep your boat organized.  I have a box for 7" worms, big worms, finesse worms, etc etc.  I label them w/ a Sharpie and put them in my boat box so I can quickly grab the plano I'm looking for.  Fantastic for getting back in the water quickly in a tournament.

Just an FYI BPS puts the XPS brand on sale during the Spring Classic sale.  They are usually discounted pretty deep.

I mostly agree with this post however with soft plastics that come in "greased" bags, for example damiki creatures and flick shake worms, I keep them in the orig package. I agree that "dry" soft plastics like sweet beavers are ok in a plano.

I keep my plastics in their original package so that they are always 'marinating' in scent.  If the plastic is only salt but not scent, I spray some YUM LPT, or Kick'N Bass Attractant in the bag.

I keep them in the original bags and put them in wrap style zips like Tackle Logic.

I actually took a ziplog bag, put a few lures in there and dumped some used moist coffee grounds in there like I hear a few people do with decent luck... I plan to go out Sunday and although they are still deep they may be starting to move more since the days have been warming up a little lately
