smallies24/7 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 No one really prefers the bags Roboworms come in. So my question is, how do you guys store them? Boxes, zip-loc bags, or anything else? Also, when you store them, do you add scent or stick with the salt they come with? Quote
Dr. Watson Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Mine have been stored rolled up in their original bags inside of a ziplock for a couple years now and are still soft. I've only used MegaStrike on them for sent and a little of it goes a long way. Quote

camman Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Original bags in a larger ziploc bag with no scent. Quote

camovan Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I seriously don't get why they don't use a zip lock, I mean it is not like they are some random large corporation that has no idea how the end user uses the product. I store mine in the original bags but I wish they would just change the packaging. Maybe they will develop a roboziplocbagsealer soon and we can all rejoice.... Quote
mjseverson24 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 i store mine in the waterproof plano boxes, I add either megastrike or YUM F2. Mitch Quote

You shouldn't add scent into bags of worms and store them, ruin the worms and bags. You can take soft plastic worms out of the bags and lay them striaght in worm boxes like Plano etc., or keep them in the original bags in a larger Zip lock bag. Tom Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I see roboworms mentioned from time to time online. I bought a pack at the local Gander Mountain this winter. I've not used them yet. Why are roboworms so popular? The worms I bought looked rather thin. The local Gander Mountain has a small collection of roboworms but they all look on the thin side. Are they proven bass catchers?

I mean it is not like Zoom or Yum are hand sealing bags so the technology obviously exist and I doubt it would require major investments to change the automated line to a more user friendly option. Regardless, it's not like I plan to stop using them because of the packaging but I don't think it is absurd to give them grief for the lame bags. Quote

This is the reason you can't buy Roboworms in bulk quantities of 100 for example. The Roboworms are poured into 10 cavity mold, the 10 worms are bagged directly from the mold, heat sealed and labeled. Automated poured worm, very different then a injection molded worm that is weight counted and hand packaged, like Zoom and Yum worms.Tom Quote

Super User RoLo Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 The Roboworm is one of my favorite bottom worms (I employ other worms for vertical deliveries & gliding deliveries). Be warned...the way I store Roboworms is very time-consuming, overdoting and complex. I tear open the top of the bag then pour the worms into one of the cantilever trays in my tackle box. Depending on forthcoming bass action, that's where they'll stay for the next 4 hours to 4 years Roger Quote

Tom Took less than 10 seconds for me to find heat seal-able zip lock bags on google. Now maybe they would have to do a little work on the automated line to incorporate a bag change, but to say that is impossible is exactly the opposite of why you build custom robotic automation system in the first place. I love the worms but they need to try harder on the packaging, just sayin. Quote
Drewski73 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Ive bought probably 30 bags of roboworms in the last nine months. Mine have never been heat sealed. Theyre open plastics bags that get header cards stapled to them. I love em and could care less about the bags. 1 Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 I take them out of the package and put them inadjustable plano boxes so they lay straight. Ive never had an issue wih them deforming but im particular about how my worms are in their trays. As for the packaging they come in, i could care less as long as they dont go up in price. I like how simple their packaging is. Quote
Toeshots Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I just threw mine into one of the ziplock bags in a BPS worm binder. Quote

Super User NorcalBassin Posted January 21, 2014 Super User Posted January 21, 2014 If you really want the typical ziplock bag, Wal Mart actually carries them that way in an 8 pack for about the same price. I still buy mine in the standard 10 pack bag from TW (essentially 25% more for the same price), but if the ziplock is important check out Wal Mart... still cheaper than a lot of comparable baits.

Hattrick7 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Wow you guys get fancy with em . I just take the label off and then roll them up in the original bag. Quote

I've not used them yet. Why are roboworms so popular? The worms I bought looked rather thin. The local Gander Mountain has a small collection of roboworms but they all look on the thin side. Are they proven bass catchers? They're popular because they have the action of a hand poured worm. Basically that means they are made out of a softer plastic and have a more natural action in the water. Also, they are popular because although they are a little more expensive than other worm, they are cheaper than actual hand poured worms because they have a robotic system that makes them. Hence the name "Roboworm". Help me out if I missed anything guys. Quote
