plastic bait storage question

[Sourmash]

Found these at Micheals about 3 weeks ago. The lids warp after a year but I just can them and move on. We had a coupon to get that price but regular price was only 99 cents.

Nice. That's similar to what I bought.

I use clear 3”x4” ziplock type bags that are 4 mil thick. Kinda like the ones some bait companies will send your order in. They aren’t expensive. Then I have a smallish, light carrying zipper bag with the bigger ziplock binder sheets that I put the 3x4 bags into. Sorted by like colors or whatever floats your brand of OCD. You can usually fit more with less bulge this way if they come in bigger packages like Garlands, etc. If the og package has a seal and is small, or there a reason to keep them in the og packaging (pre-scented/oiled or there’s too many to fit in the 3x4 without smooshing or wading them up for example), then I just leave them. You can pray a little slab sauce or whatever in the 3x4s to keep them moist if you use the stuff anyways. Some like WD-40. But if you keep them out of the heat and sun, they keep fine as is.

I use a clear storage box that also fits in the carrying bag for jig heads, hooks, other lures. And another one for bobbers, weights, etc. It’s got a few pockets inside and a zipper pouch for anything else. This setup is ideal for bankfishing creeks and stuff with the shoulder strap, but the basic idea applies to bigger bags or binders.

Better be sure they are worm/plastic proof or you will have a heck of a mess if they stay in it very long !!!

Until about a month ago I've been trying to get organized ever since I started fishing and that was about 40 years ago. Now I'm trying to STAY organized. I have tried keeping the plastics in their own bags in a tackle bag, I've tried organizing them in little compartments in Plano boxes. I've tried just about everything they make except a "worm" notebook.

About a month ago I was at the Walmarks and I bought some clear plastic boxes about the size of shoebox. They aren't in the fishing department, they're with the plastic totes, and other stuff like that. They have a clear lid and one little blue tab on each end that flips up to lock it closed. So far, so good. It's keeping the boat cleaner and my stuff organized.

I have so many packages of plastics in different styles and colors that I'd need a golf cart to carry them all in hard plastic boxes! Much easier to just keep them in their original packages and get a soft sided tackle bag to put those in. More compact and there's nothing wrong with the original packaging. And yes, do spray in a squirt or two of Slab Sauce. Goooood stuff!

I keep mines in labeled Plano boxes. I write manufactors name on the box and mix them with mineral oil to keep them lubricated. Keep sunlight away from them and they will last a longtime.

6-pack soft-sided cooler, in original packages.
