Dypsis Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Just curious as to why nearly all soft plastics come in a resealable bag and roboworms do not. I keep mine in a ziploc bag which is fine, just curious. Save money on packaging? Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted September 9, 2014 Super User Posted September 9, 2014 I have been able to find them is resealable bags (see pic) but it is a rare find. I have no clue why they don't always do this ... 1 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted September 9, 2014 Super User Posted September 9, 2014 that pack from Felix looks like some newer packaging than what i have seen.... the fact that they are a fairly "small" operation in the grand scheme of things is likely why they don't invest as much in packaging. They make these right here in the USA so they may not have all the overseas hook ups on packaging that some do. That's just my thought, but the worms are great! I use a BPS worm bag with sealable bags inside so it doesn't bother me, but i hear ya. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted September 9, 2014 Super User Posted September 9, 2014 Probably because you go through them so fast, they know you won't be resealing the bag haha 3 Quote

EmersonFish Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I kind of like those goofy bags they come in. I can pack it with a few different colors of worms, a pack of 1/0 Gamakatsu Drop Shot hooks, a pack of 3/16 oz. drop shot weights, and a small pair of pliers. Fold it up, put it in my pocket, and start cruising the bank with my spinning rod. It's easy to get in and out of, and I never have individual Roboworms long enough to worry about "freshness." Even when I'm fishing out of the boat, they are in the worm bag, and I'm happy not mess with another poor quality, "resealable" package to frustrate me that day. Quote
IAY Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I just cut the corner of each bag, and gently tap the other end to get the worms out. I find that to be most effective. The reason they do this is definitely cost cutting. Quote
BigMoneyGrip Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I'm not sure of the reason, but I'd gladly pay 20cents more, just to get a usable bag. Gladly. Quote
Super User FishTank Posted September 10, 2014 Super User Posted September 10, 2014 I have a few packages of the old ones. I made the mistake of forgetting about one that was open in my soft plastic tackle bag and wow what a mess. The goo on the inside seemed to seep into everything. I ended up putting them in some empty old soft plastic bags. No issues. One thing about though, with out the goo in the bag, they dry up quick. Quote
