HELP. soft plastics in LUGGAGE?

[Darth-Baiter]

I leave for a vacation bass trip in a week.  I am packing early.  my soft plastics are in the original clam shells.   it takes up a monumental amount of space.   I want to take them all out and put them into zipper type sandwich bags to save the room!  will I distort them beyond use?  hate to get there only to have stick baits and a wad of melted expensive Japanese baits.  

 

I dont have any ELASTEC stuff.   OSP baits, Fat impacts, etc.  

 

I know Yamamoto Flapping hogs are okay in a crunched up baggie.  

 

if I dont get this down into a smaller package, I will have an huge luggage.  yuck.

No problem.  If the baits are stored like that for a long period, then they will distort.  But a week?  Naw.  You're fine.

When I fly south of the border I use 1 carry on and 2 checked bags.

The carry on (top camo) is a sling back that has travel documentation and my reels.

Middle bag is my tackle bag but for the travel I load it with my clothes.

Don't need much.

The bottom (suit case) is my tackle - need more of that.

Once I get to the lodge I switch the tackle from the suit case to the tackle bag and hang my clothed in the room leaving an empty suitcase.

Of the trip home I simply reverse the process.

Small private air to the lodge has 'weight limits' so I have to keep my whole load under 40 lbs.

Most everything get re-packed into zip-lock bags.

Easily the biggest challenge with every trip.

Good Luck.
