hoosierbass07 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I'm trying to organize my hard tackle this winter. I'm wondering about storing spinnerbaits. I have one of those Plano 3600 spinner bait organizer boxes. When you put them in you have to bend one of the arms down so it stays hooked down. Does storing spinnerbaits like that cause them to bend and warp over time and lead to them being permanently bent? Here is the Plano box I'm talking about: Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted February 23, 2015 Super User Posted February 23, 2015 I've got two boxes full and have had no issues. Some have sat in that box for over a year. My biggest issue is trying to pull one out of the middle and the skirts get hung up or pinched by the bait next to it. But still stores them nicely. 2 Quote

Dypsis Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I purchased the 3707 (both spinner and buzz) about a month ago and was also initially worried about that. But so far in the short time I have had it (I've checked on them a few times) I really see no issues. It did take me a couple times to figure out how to get them in correctly but now that I figured it out - it seems like a great box. Quote
Brnnoser6983 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I can tell you personally.. I have the box style, the cheaper tray, and the one on the video. The one on the video by far is superior. If you are worried about bringing of the wire over time you are using extremely cheap spinners. Most of the spinners out there keep shape with memory vary well. Quote

But this is a minimal problem compared to other boxes where you pull one and they all pull out. Quote
WolfyBrandon Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I've been wondering the same thing. I like the style of bending them down and storing them like that, but I don't want it to have memory being bent down. I've currently been storing them on the hanging rack in my hard box, but I'm running out of room. I was looking into this... Plano Hydro Flo Hanging Bait Box 3505 I'm also looking for advice on the best way to store Flipping & Swim Jigs. WolfyBrandon Quote
Will Wetline Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 4 lb. smallies bend spinnerbait wires! I'm not worried about that style box (which I also use). Quote

WolfyBrandon I have one its kind of a hassle dosent fit in most boat storage compartments and dosent hold the spinners very tight at all. Whenever I run down the lake on a little bumpy day or a lot of turns they usually get Pretty tangled. Quote

I find that almost any style jig can either be held in the groove around its skirt collar, or others you can bend the weed guard down into to slot for the spinnerbait wire. Holds chatterbaits too.

RustyShackleford Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I may be old school, but I "relieved" my old man of his spinnerbait pouch years ago. Just throw them in, roll it up, and it'll store almost anywhere. Even keep a few extra blades/swivels/skirts in it. Quote
plumworm Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 99% of my spinnerbaits are titanium. I have used that 3600 Plano box forever. I think they came out about 8 years ago. I can see cheap wire spinners taking on a "set" but they can be tuned in seconds. I love that box. Quote
