Vranes17 Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 So I had a bag of new plastic trailers and I took off a stick style swimbait, a senko w a paddle tail, and threw it in the bag with the trailers and when I went to open it the swimbait like melted some of the trailers and they all got ruined and stuck together. The swimbait kinda shriveled up and got kinda hard. This happen to anyone else, and why did this occur? Don’t want to ruin anymore new baits in the future Quote
JediAmoeba Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 Were any of them Elaztech? Zman products are mostly this and some strike king. They do not go together - they fuse together with any plastisol or PVC bait. 1 Quote

Super User FryDog62 Posted October 18, 2019 Super User Posted October 18, 2019 Original packaging on Elaztech products usually states this warning... I know, we’ve all done it at some point... Quote

Super User WRB Posted October 18, 2019 Super User Posted October 18, 2019 This was a problem with soft plastics in general until "worm proof" storage bags and boxes became the norm. Mixing brands can still cause issues with color bleeding together. Z-Man uses a soft plastic that isn't compatible with other brands and some storage boxes, keep them separated in original bags as everyone has suggested. Tom Quote
Super User FishTank Posted October 18, 2019 Super User Posted October 18, 2019 As stated above.... This is the reason I don't store them in anything but the original packages. They can do all kinds of funky stuff.... Stick together, mix colors, mix scents, etc. Quote

Super User Jig Man Posted October 19, 2019 Super User Posted October 19, 2019 Zman baits even in their original bag will fuse together. They destroy regular pvc boxes. Quote
r3825 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 All Z-man baits stay in their bags in a separate Z-man carrier, they don't mix Quote
