Paddle bait storage

[FishTax]

How do you store your paddle baits? I try to keep mine in original package so it doesn't get deformed, but those seem to take up a lot of valuable space and don't fit well into my pockets I usually store plastics in.

Boxes are stored flat.

I make sure the tail folds over and breaks off no matter what container I’m using. Got lots of ribbed ned baits for sale if anyone’s interested……

Original package with paddle tails too.  Drives me crazy when they get a deformed tail and they go round a round.

I buy them, fish them, destroy them, and loose them.  I have never had a chance to store them.

Original packages stored in those mesh laundry bags sorted by type and size. I can see through it well enough to determine what each grouping is.

Plano Edge, stored on its side. Seal keeps the keitech smell in. A 3700 box can store 6-8 packs of keitechs, depending on the length. Watching what I actually fish vs what I carry around, I could probably get away with a 3600 and a bottle of mend-it. 

 

I store multiple sizes in the same/similar color in one opening.

 

Keitech GP/watermelon 3.8 + 4.3. 

Keitech Bluegill flash 3.8 + 4.3 

Keitech Shad-ish (I forget the color name) 3.2 + 3.8

Biospawn GP 4.3 (swimjig trailer, only need a couple)

Biospawn shad-ish 4.3 (swimjig trailer, only need a couple)

Divine 3.8 shad ish, flake and no flake, for a-rigs. I need to carry more of these since losing an a-rig means five are gone. Superglue helps a -lot- on the divine swimbaits since the keepers suck on most a-rig heads. 

Open compartment for anything that's had it's tail dipped. 

Adding one color to the box that'll need it's own compartment. 

 

Anyway the point here is that stacking them in a tray works just fine. Haven't had to throw a bait away yet, and it's been more than a year.
