    I kept them in the original bag and store them in deep Rubbermaid box. The colors and baits don't ruin like this.

    I only keep a few of each color rigged at a time and I restock when needed. So they don't stay unused for more than a few weeks.

    I use the worm binders. My trick is i put a few drops of mineral oil in the bag to coat it and the bodies to keep them from breaking down and getting kinked up with the others.
    I do not store them rigged on a jig head though. It may work but it only takes 15 seconds to thread a body on a jig.

    Only time I've ever had to resort to gluing a plastic bait to the jighead was when I was using hollow tubes (BPS Squirmin Squirts & such). I just got tired of Bluegill and short striking Crappie pulling the tubes down on the hook. Gluing them solved that problem, but then the Bluegill simply ate all the "legs" off the tubes

    I went to solid body plastics and haven't had that problem since
