    Default Have a deformed plastic lure right out of the package? solution quick and easy!


    I've ordered Crappie Magnets in the 50 pack and unfortunately the company doesn't increase bag size resulting in deformed bodies, tails or both from cramming that many together. Many times your lure is put in the tackle box bent with other lures and comes out deformed after a day on the water or weeks in storage.

    To get any soft plastic lure to go back to its original shape, boil an inch of water, throw the lures into it and let cook for 2-3 minutes. Rinse in cold water, let sit 15 minutes on a flat surface and the lure is as good as new.

    I discovered this cure years ago and had to use it for 3/4 of the 50 single-color Magnet grubs I received.
    Note: colors don't run in hot water so different colored lures can be fixed.

    Pour some Slabsauce in the bag and through on the dash. Infuses the scent into the bait
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
