This works for me. It helps to not have them quite this full!

Exactly what I had in mind. Some way to leave them in the bag, but be able to sort through quickly. I will head down to WalMart and see what I can find. Thanks

What oil do you use? That was my biggest concern in the standard boxes is the baits drying out as I typically keep them open and nearby me when fishing. I have a couple bottles of Slabsauce if that would work or if you need something else. Much why I have left them in the bags for so long.

Whatever you spray on will last for a long time. It surprised me.

Mineral oil just a little goes a long way. Or the sale a worm oil online. But I’ve been using the mineral oil without any problems. As long as you keep them out of the sun your ok. I keep all my baits like crappie magnet in one box hot grubs in another and so on.

Yeah I've always heard mineral oil also. But on the same hand, I've had some baits stored for many years and they havent dried out at all. But I always keep them covered out of the sun unless I'm grabbing one. The plastic softeners in the baits are what makes the dividers warp overtime. But that is how I like to store mine; in planos loose in dividers. Everyone has their own preference.

Yes the more softener in the bait the more it wi warp the plastic but I figured it don’t matter.

Packages of Bobby Garland baby shad baits don't fit well in a Plano Stowaway boxes, or at least the ones that I have. I'm seriously thinking about keeping the tackle bag with one box for jigheads and one box for minnow rigging then putting the bags of bodies in gallon ziplock bags. One bag for clear water colors, one for muddy, etc...

If you come up with a good idea, let us all know.

for where your fishing, you can put the colors you need in your shirt pocket
