I have a lot of soft baits and wanted to sort 'em and carry 'em around easily. So I went to Office Depot and got a zipper notebook.
I got some zip-lock pencil cases there to, and I sorted the baits and put them in those like this:
Some of these baits I won at the BBF social. I wish I knew the brand of one kind, but they just melted in here. And once they liquified, they didn't get solid again. I think it must have been the kind that advertised that they were super soft. It was not a major brand.
PS: Now you know why I want to get better at catchin' with this thingamajigs!

Yes, Chalk. It did seem like a reaction to being in contact with another brand! A very strange reaction, too. How do you know all this stuff?? Happen to you too?

I had seen the idea somewhere, like on TV. But these are sliding zip locks and so won't corrode. And they are cheap and easily replaceable. Now, the zipper on the notebook might corrode. I even had the plastic [?] zipper on my scuba booties "corrode" in place, 'til I lubed it and pulled it with pliers......
sorry to rebump this old post..... but the strike king 3x baits react badly with other plastics. mostly other baits. says so on the packaging. i can keep them pretty well in ziplocks and stuff but the best thing is their own packaging. i swear by these things for both fresh and salt water. love em. u can fish one or two all day... even in schoolie trout situations. u cant break em...hate it when pinfish eat my bass assasins and gulps. gettin harder to find though.... basically have to order them off bps.
