Storing plastics

[Bassin407]

Does everybody keep their worms in the zip lock packaging. I want to take them out and store them right in my tackle box since the extra plastic takes up so much weight but didn't know if them being out in the open will cause them to dry out and stiffen up. 

 

Thanks

I take all of my plastics out of the original packaging and organize them in 3600 boxes. I never have a problem with anything drying out. Just make sure not to mix the regular plastics with Zman baits. There is some sort of chemical reaction that causes them to melt.

I always keep my plastics in the original packaging!  I tried using those worm binders at first but over time the oil/lube used in some of the plastics start to build up and the plastic sleeves just got all gross and messy.

All that oil & sometimes salt, or salted oil should I say finding it's way through every nook and cranny smearing the rest of your lures during a hot summer day rusting the hooks, fogging spinnerbait blades ......... Yes, please take them out of the bag and store them directly on the trays of you t-box.

I keep them in their bags.....and have tried every type of container I could find. From baggies to a number of plastic containers.

currently using 4 of these I found them at JoAnns Fabric Store:

i used to keep them in their original bags, and store the bags in 3700 trays.... but now i do what thie article says, and i added one thing. i found a plastic Tupperware box that fits perfectly in the compartment of my boat where i store plastics... i can fit about ten 1 gallon ziplocs in the box, plus a small tray with hooks and another one with weights... so i keep them all in thebox, and when im going fishing i just put the plastic box in the boats compartment... for me, its the easies and fastest way to pick the lure i want, instead of having to go through all the boxes to find the bag i need....

I take them out and store them in 3700 containers. I've never had any sort of problem.

I just started keeping them in the original packaging but putting the packs in deep tackle trays. I have most of my soft plastics out of the packaging in tackle trays. I haven't had any problems with storing my plastics except when I put them in the clear plastic binder sleeves. Those things were terrible. Any plastics I put in them seemed to leak out. Not to mention the floating worms I put into one sleeve got flattened out.
