duxbware Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I was at Bass pro today and I was looking at a plastic bait kit. You know all different colors of grubs and worms. It got me thinking....Do the grubs dry up if they are taken out of the bag they came in and placed in a tackle box ? DUXBWARE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbaquial Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I think you may be confusing it with Berkley's Gulp stuff... that stuff, if its taken and left out of the bag for a long time - it'll eventually dry up and shrivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duxbware Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I guess my question was a little confusing now that I read it myself. Question is..... if you take plastic grubs or worms out of its sealed zip locked package and place them in a tackle box do they dry up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbaquial Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hmmm... Thats a rather interesting question (now its been rephrased)? Hmmm... I would assume they would be OK... provided they aren't scented or flavored? if anything.. if THEY ARE scented/flavored... you spent extra money for the scent/flavor for nothing? Especially to just leave it out in a tackle box, rather than its original packaging? But I don't know... can anyone help in providing an answer to this - I'm pretty interested myself....Thanks for asking this question Duxbware.

JPD Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The plastics that are in the kits are fine like that. They will not dry up over time. The only baits you really want to keep sealed up are Gulp! baits. I have even stored Powerbait plastics in Plano containers for years on end and that stink never went away!!!

OhioFisherman Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 (edited) Same as JPD, never had any problems with regular baits stored in plano boxes. He is right on the Gulp Baits. A side note though keep the same color baits together though some will bleed colors. Edited February 27, 2009 by OhioFisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it embarassing for you to buy HOT PINK / BUBBLEGUM coloured lures? LOL just kidding with you But anyways, mix those colours to your heart's content! Maybe you'll invent a mixture of colours that beats all the colours that are on the market! Edited February 27, 2009 by EC1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAGKING Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Never had trouble with plastics losing scent in my plano. Only complaint is it will be greasy and smelly after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbog Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I put all my crappie tubes in a plano but keep the larger plastics in their bags. Never had a problem with them drying out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
