storing plastics?

[mrpike1973]

hi i bought a used tackle box stuffed with plastics, worms etc. i bought a new flambeau hip roof box. is it best to put them in the little compartments or should i bag them in plastic bags just dont want a mess. almost all of them are just plastics not gulp etc. i know to keep them in the bags thanks

Pretty much up to how you want it. The plastics I don't a ton of or use a ton of in a day, I keep in boxes. The ones I could use a bunch of in a day, I store in bags...

I like to keep mine in bags, I feel that it perseves the attractant on them, or helps keep it stronger. The down side to this is that I end up with so many bags that I have a hard time finding what I want at times.

hi thanks i'll leave some in the bags and others in the tray. my wife uses gulp some. i cant makes me sick dont touch that stuff but i know it will dry out if not stored right

One thing I've done to help keep my plastics organized is move them all into Rubbermaid disposable tupperware type containers. I can then lable the covers of each with a Sharpie so they're easily identifiable, stack nicely and I can also put them all in a larger plastic storage box for easy transport.

It's also great for the winter; I'm able to see all my plastics stacked in the basement, so I'll know about how much I need to order in the spring.

Hiya -

I have all my plastics in their original packages stored in Falcon speed bags - they're now made by Plano under the FTO name. I like them because I can just grab one on my way to the front deck. Plus you can stuff them in a larger bag or compartment and they don't take up much room. I have several of them with different kinds of baits (jigworms, tubes, grubs, creatures) and just restock them as I need to.

Yep, exactly what Rob said.

Plus, you can keep the smelly plastics to their own smelly speed bag. Ease of portability is a big reason why I have progressed to this stage of plastics management, not only around the boat but from boat to canoe for different trips.

I myself do not use bags.. I have all bulk bags in a storage container in my garage and then stock up after each trip from that.. Have plastics sorted by color and type in plastic boxes in the boat.
