Dogface Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 I picked up some Zman RaZor ShadZs with the intention of using them for jig and chatter bait trailers. I would like to leave the trailer on the jigs when I'm not fishing them. Has anyone had any problems with the ElaZtech reacting with skirt rubber? Quote

Super User DitchPanda Posted February 20, 2022 Super User Posted February 20, 2022 Ill elaborate further...I left a razor shad glued on a chatter bait custom for at least 3-4 months and saw no ill effect. Quote
Lead Head Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 If you store the jigs with the trailer still on, I have had them develop a deformed "memory". 3 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 21, 2022 Global Moderator Posted February 21, 2022 I laid several different colors of skirt material across a few different Zman baits for at least a few weeks and nothing happened, you're good. 2 Quote
Super User Bird Posted February 22, 2022 Super User Posted February 22, 2022 You shouldn't ever have a reaction with silicone or rubber, which jig skirts are made of. The reaction you may be referring to with other soft baits using plastisol has been a known issue when mixed with ElazTech. 1 Quote
Bdnoble84 Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Ive had problems storing them in plastic boxes though where they deform or even melt. Is there a type of box that wont do that? Quote

Is there a type of box that wont do that? I called Zman about this very issue. I was told that it was the chemical reaction of Elaztech and PVC which what these boxes are made from same as plastic baits. He told me Flambeau boxes didn't react the same way so I ordered some. There is still some warping but not as bad. 2 Quote
Bdnoble84 Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 I wonder if there is some sort of liner that could be put in. I just hate carrying bags. Atleast when bank/ wading Quote
