Store plastics in worm binder or Plano open storage box?
Store plastics in worm binder or Plano open storage box?
I currently have the plastics that I keep in the original package in a Bass Pro worm binder. It fits inside my current Bass Pro Skalker bag (albeit not perfectly). Does anyone use open compartment storage boxes instead of binders? What works best?

Re: Store plastics in worm binder or Plano open storage box?
I do both, but i feel like they keep better in the bags they came in (scent/moisture/shape) so i don't mind storing like chunk trailers alongside jigs, but worms and especially swimbaits i keep in the packaging i bought it in because they are wont to lose their shape.
This is the way.

I use 3700 boxes and the original bags they came in.

I use Plano 3700 boxes. It's easier to keep track of what I need using boxes vs bags.

The last time I put soft plastics inside a 3700 box, the box dividers started to warp and become all weird.
I keep my soft plastics in the packages.

Some plastics are awesome in Plano boxes (Yamamoto, Zoom, Missile Baits) and some are not so awesome. Netbait plastics in particular get very dry and stiff. Anything with a scent seems to leave a residue or warp dividers.

I keep my some of my plastics in the "Original Bags" and then put them into a 1 Gallon Ziploc Storage Bags. I use a Sharpie to label the bags so I can identify what brand, type of bait and size is in each bag. After each fishing trip I then remove all of the plastics bags and keep them stored in a cooler. This prevents them from becoming faded, bent and melted...
Re: Store plastics in worm binder or Plano open storage box?
This is exactly what I do too, you can separate them in the ziplocs according to color, type, brand or any combination you want, plus it's easy to squeeze out excess air so they take up less room.Ranger Ron 620 DVS wrote:I keep my some of my plastics in the "Original Bags" and then put them into a 1 Gallon Ziploc Storage Bags.

I've been doing the bags in ziploc bags for awhile now and it works OK. Can be tough to find the right bait at times though. Just got a boat and will be doing all my plastics in deep 3700's in their bags.
I like TD-Z's

I keep my plastics in the original plastic bags, I can fit 6-8 of those original bags into a big ziplock zipper bag. I organize each zipper bag with similar plastics; craws, tubes, senkos... and so on . I label them with a sharpie, then I put the ziplock bags in those fabric grocery bags. My plastics are organized, travel well and its super cheap. A box of big ziplock zipper bags is like 5 bucks and the fabric grocery bags are 2 bucks each! haha got excited about this post.

I keep mine in the original bags, then in plasitc storage containers that are about the size of a shoebox. Can hold a lot of bags, organize them by type/style in each box. I then keep a "Day" or "confidence" box of the baits I am planning on using for the day, that sits on top ready to reach into at any time, then if i need something else that i wasnt thinking i would use, it is easy to find and get to.

Not a cheap option, but I leave them in their bags and store them inside a meiho versus 3080 tacklebox.

I use original bags put in a 2 gallon zip locked bag,and mark them with magic marker,worms,finese worms,craws,and creature baits.I then put the zipbags in a cabela's small advanced anglers soft bag works for me.
