Keep those in the shade or in a cool and vented tackle box or you might have a hot sticky mess when temperatures are in the mid nineties. Just my opinion.
CD cases are cheap on-line and when I want to take along certain designs to try or store
others of a type, I can't think of a better way where the lures are easily visualized. If the lure bodies
are a bit bulky, an elastic band keeps the lid shut and the lures never move around in the case.
Note the packing tape for when I hang them in the wall. I use a hole punch.

If you're pouring/injecting your own creations put them in 3-4mil plastic baggies that you
can purchase online, and squirt a little garlic sauce in them to keep them moist. When you
accumulate enough, then get yourself a bass pro worm bag and buy the 6 inch replacement
sleeves. I store all of my plastics in these bags and have about 10 bags for crappie fishing
with luggage tags describing the contents attached to the handles. I do the same with the
plastics that I purchase, like Bobby Garland, Southern Pro and Wackem & Stackem custom baits.

Neat idea! However, I wonder how the various soft plastics will, over time, interact with the CD cases? I don't think they are "worm proof" per say, but they may be.

Thanks for the tips. But...
The soft plastic cd cases never interact with the lures. Hard plastic does interact with soft plastic lures.
Heat doesn't soften them in the case and none ever stick together.
I have about a dozen cases on hooks in the basement that have backup lures ready to substitute those lost or too used up.
In a article released, in Jan. 2018, Aaron Martens (Bassmaster Pro) shared a tip about storing soft-plastics. He uses cellophane bags he purchases online, as they provides a more airtight enclosure, makes baits last longer (especially on hand-poured baits), and is sturdier than other commonly used zip-style bags. He also uses these to keep his scent bottles in.

Harbor Freight , have two different sizes. They have Sales often !
Add Mineral Oil , have some plastics over two years old, no problems so far.

After watching Bobby Garland Fishing channel on Youtube I went with this system except I like the waterproof boxes. YouTube. Make sure you buy the mineral oil in the pharmacy department cause it costs a dollar. If you buy it from the kitchen department it cost $4.

Speaking of Harbor Freight, I use this one and another half as wide with only 5 boxes and depending on how many lure I'm carrying:
Some of the individual boxes have partitions, some don't and are made of the same plastic as CD box plastic.
It is the only lure storage case I take and will never use tackle boxes again. Plastic bags I use to take along lures I'll use for the first time and one for lures that did really well (so I can make more).
