How quickly do you go through plastics? 2024
cgolf reply :
When I recently put a spreadsheet together of my soft plastics I realized I had more than I thought. I also would say I fish a lot, but don’t go through a lot of plastics.
I do rig my plastics on a slider heads or swim jigs and I have bins of rigged plastics that I have used off and on with some being rigged up for over 3 years. I also don’t texapose the hook, because I haven’t seen it make a huge difference in the amount of weeds I pull up on the bait.
Part of me says I should pitch plastics sooner so that I actually go through some. The other part of me says to not waste perfectly good baits. Is it odd that I can get baits to last so long? I could even get 4-6 fish out of a swim Senko.

A-Jay reply :
Sounds like you have a solid plan in place where you are able to use, keep, & save many of your plastic baits.
I'm a bit different in that my priority is to catch big bass with my plastics.
In fact, I want to catch as many as I can.
However I do understand and accept the fact that in the process of catching all these big bass, I will inevitably go through a ton of baits.
I say "Dam the torpedoes, Full Speed ahead !"
btw - Congrats on your collection of used baits.

Mobasser reply :
This summer, my grandson and I mainly used roboworms in 6". We could get 3 maybe 4 fish out of them before they were done. I don't really save plastics and have a big collection. It's good that your able to save and use them.

I am chasing the big girls too, but usually fish plastics only if they are lethargic picking them up off the bottom. If they are in a chasing mood I will switch to a lipless or some other crank to be more efficient. Also fish a lot of tubes, Kalyn’s 5” grubs and rage menaces that hold up well to multiple fish.
This menace got me 23 largemouth in a few hours, finally had to retire it. Almost ran out of this color on vacation, only had one pack and the bass loved it.
Dirtyeggroll reply :
The amount of plastics I go through usually correlates well with the number of fish I am catching. I tend to change my plastic at the slightest irregularity if it gets bit. After all, I want to reproduce the same presentation if it’s working.
One exception is a time that I had prefished a lake and it was muddy with 6 inch visibility and then 5 days later it was clear 4-6 feet of visibility. I had brought only gear for dirty water. I fished a black and blue jig most of the morning and didn’t get a sniff. I hunted around through my boxes and I found a green pumpkin/blue jig with an okeechobee trailer, started throwing it and started catching them. One of the pinchers got bit off, and I didn’t have anymore in that color, but I thought “what the hell” and fished it anyway and continued to catch fish. The other pincher got bit off and I just kept fishing it and getting bit. I ended up with a 3rd place finish with about a 20 lb bag. Despite this, I still change my plastic at the slightest irregularity if I have them. But I frequently wonder how much it matters.
Harold Scoggins reply :
I go through this many blackberry Jelly Worms every year. This box was ordered last November and is almost gone. Although they don't hold up good to subsequent catches, the bass love em. Been using them since 1975 and as long as they continue to perform, I'll continue to use them.
Catt reply :
You can have lures in your tackle box or bass in your in your livewell...ya can't have both!
If I catch one bass per piece of plastic it's done it's job!
Plastics that I know work I'll buy in bulk, the only used plastics I keep are for jig trailers.
soflabasser reply :
Depends on what type of soft plastic lure I am using and what I am fishing for. On soft swimbaits I tend to catch several bass before I throw away the swimbait or I repair it for future use. Same lure might only last 1 time for toothy fish such as bowfin, gar, bullseye snakehead, etc.

I read an article that someone posted here about research that Berkley had done in regards to bass feeding on craws. The bass turned out to be FAR more likely to feed on craws with missing pinchers. They said the bait resembled more of a shrimp than a craw. They never produced a bait to look like this because their marketing research showed nobody would ever buy it.
Interesting your results seem to back that up!
BassNJake reply :
I go thru plastics a lot.
I primarily fish a toad style bait and frequently will go thru 10-15 in one trip.
I save them and have a 5 gallon bucket about half full of used baits.
I made some molds and started using the old plastics to hand pour baits.
My favorite drop shot baits are swim baits that have lost the paddle tail.(keitech, rage swimmer types)
It still has that bait fish profile and the ribs + the thinning of the bait towards the tail still gives it a subtle action.
Troy85 reply :
It depends on what I'm using. I find that culprit worms and baby brushhogs are usually pretty durable, and I can catch several fish on them before having to replace them. Senkos on the other hand, I can go thru a pack of those if I hit a bump to hard on the way to the launch.
Tennessee Boy reply :
I'm approaching retirement so I'm at a point in my life where I have plenty of money and not enough fishing time. I'm trying to maximize my catch and I don't worry at all about the cost of plastics. If a bait is damaged in a way that affects it fishability, it gets replaced. After retirement, when my income will be much lower and my fishing time will be much higher, I'll probably pay more attention to fishing cost and will probably try to get the most out of a plastic bait.
Paul Roberts reply :
I try not to go through plastics, for a few reasons:
-I'm stingy.
-I am concerned about biphenols like pthalates in the water, due to some evidence that some can cause reproductive harm in fishes and other aquatic life.
So...
I maintain my soft plastic baits. I repair them with Mend-It, or cyanoacrylic glues. If one gets torn and looks like it'll only catch one more fish, I replace it, and mend it when I return home.
I try to find more durable substitutes for certain baits.
Bc of toxicity concerns, I never discard soft plastics around water and pick up all I find out there. I'm also using some Elaz-Tech type plastics that are more durable and, supposedly, without the reproductive toxicity potential.
NYWayfarer reply :
I go through a lot of plastics. It has made me really re-think the true value of a hardbait. I have caught dozens of fish on the same Whopper Plopper, it's worth it's weight in gold compare to a bag of plastics.
I do try and repurpose my plastics as much as possible. Half a stickbait becomes a Ned rig, etc.
cgolf reply :
To clarify my thriftyness a bit, I will use a beat up bait like the menace picture I posted until I feel the damage is enough to change the action of the bait. At that point I change the bait to a new one. I have never used mend it to repair a bait.
I guess i gravitate to plastics that catch multiple fish under tough conditions. Since I only get out for a few hours each time I see rerigging a new bait often as casts lost. So I guess I am really trying to maximize my time on the water.
I also agree that over time the cost of a crank is a bargain compared to plastics. We don’t think twice of dropping 5 or 6 bucks on a bag of plastics, but to spend 8 to 12 on a crank can be a struggle some times.
GReb reply :
I use them until the head will not stay on the hook. If I fished more clear water I’d probably change pretty often though

Just a tip, start putting it out there now, when you're in a crowd at work just announce that you hope you don't get a watch for a retirement gift. They will start poking trying to find out what you hope to get. I did it and it worked. I told everyone that I wanted fishing lures!

And they smell good enough to spread on toast!! I love these old worms. Every time I get to smell these I am taken back to another time fishing with my Dad in his old aluminum boat. I sure miss him....
bholtzinger14 reply :
I remelt my used plastic and make new baits.
Seems like I go through senkos pretty fast. I can usually make my swimbaits last and my creatures and craws last a while.
lo n slo reply :
each year, i will typically go through 30-40 bags of lizards, and the same amount of worms. i buy them in bulk.
Mike F reply :
I go through plastics almost embarrassingly fast sometimes, and when I’m bored or it’s raining I’ll dig up packs that have been sitting for a while and test them as jig trailers etc which usually ends up being a somewhat wasteful endeavor. I’ve had the best longevity with chigger craws Texas rigged, iv used the same craw for a week before fishing everyday for a few hrs. You can texpose three times per side of the craw until it rips, then flip it over and do the same on the side with the writing.
Does anyone one know if superglue has any noticibale scent to fish? I’ve always been paranoid it smells and am hesitant to use it for anything fishing related.

Bluebasser86 reply :
I have 2 5 gallon buckets of used plastics that are both about half full, one is natural colors, the other is dark colors like black and blue and junebug. I melt them down and repour during the winter.
fishwizzard reply :
I have no problem burning through plastics to catch fish, but I do become a little annoyed when one is destroyed (looking at you Keitech FI) just from casting it ton when the skunk is on.
I do however, find that I don’t go through plastics nearly as fast as I thought I would, I have finally broken myself of the habit of buying in bulk. With the exception of drop shot plastics, I can generally get a decent number of fish out of most of the brands that I use.
Munkin reply :
I will use the same bait until I cannot rig it correctly anymore. It doesn't matter that I have 98 more of them I like to keep using the bait that is working. When they are finally done they get melted down into jig trailers based on color. Co-anglers leave a lot of used baits in my boat and I generally use what I can find if they are hitting everything. I won 2 club tournaments with just the baits I found laying in the back of my boat.

Does the brand matter or just whatever you are using at the time? Only downside is you won’t be able to match the salt content batch to batch. Wonder if Elaztech can be remolded?

I have had the opposite results fishing for smallies on a river system. Crawbugs only have produced for me with both pinchers on them. Could be with the 2.5” bait I use the hook comes out of the end of the head so I may be hooking up when the smallies are picking it up to try and tear a pincher off.

Two baits I don't melt down are anything elaztech and Berkley power bait. The elaztech is made of who knows what and the Berkley stuff seems to scorch too easily. Besides those I do not care about the percentage of salt content for regular jig trailers as it is immaterial.

^This is the exact same rule I follow. Elaztech doesn't work and Berkley is a pain to try to melt. I'm just trying to get a few extra miles out of my baits so salt content and such isn't a big issue. A lot of my repours are baits I use at ponds and dink factory lakes that they'll eat whatever you throw at them. I do have a separate bin of just Rage baits that I use to make some of my nicer repours.
Jaderose reply :
After a day of fishing, the bottom of my boat is covered in Senko tips I bite off. I'll use em until I can't use them anymore. Not really cheap, they just continue to work, so why not?
Maggiesmaster reply :
Netbaits are by far the most durable worm. Next are Culprits; Zoom works catch fish, but are too soft for me. Bream will bite off their tails quickly.

I thought I saw some guys responding to a recent post that they never left plastics rigged, because it caused rust.
I don't have enough experience to have really tested this out, but because of that, I took a whole pile of plastics off of hooks last weekend, thereby adding a bit of wear to each bait.
@cgolf are you saying your experience is that there is no issue? Very interesting.
FWIW I am honestly amazed by how long my plastics seem to last, and I'm changing them out constantly. I'm just a small-time weekend warrior, so maybe that is the reason.
To each their own, but I keep used baits sorted in planos and/or buckets like you do by color, and periodically grab the plastics, a beer, and some mend it and have a repair session. Partly because I'm cheap, mostly because I hate to waste plastics, and above all else I have little kids and really enjoy the break.

Depends on the type of hook and amount of salt in the bait. Generally the rust isn’t on the hook point so I still fish them, long as it is only a little surface rust, and don’t feel I miss any fish because of it. A lot of my sliders are the pro slider with the upgraded hook which don’t seem to rust, same with swim jigs. I have never seen a seen a hook fail because it was a little rusty. I fish for fun and not money so I can afford to take a chance too.
Bankbeater reply :
It depends on the plastics. I can use up a bag of plastic worms in one season, but I have bags of creature baits, and beaver type baits that are 10+ year old.

Where do you get your molds from? Do it has a couple I am interested in, but to start open pour would be cheaper and Do its selection of open pour isn’t great. I want to limit the cash I spend to recycle baits, don’t want to start up another hobby;)

There are some cool molds on there, assume they aren’t from in the US based on the fact that they look like copies of some of the site sponsors baits. I will have to scroll through and see if they have hand pour molds. I am not ready to get an injection setup yet.
I did see a 4.85” freedom fry on the do it site, I could use for Ned baits cutting them in half.

Was looking at their hand pour molds, better selection and cheaper than the limited do it options. Also since this would just be for recycling baits, this makes more sense than going all in and getting the injection molds. Just not sure what the difference between a silicone mold and a composite mold is.

I have several open pour molds from them. Their molds are difficult to really get a feel for the dimensions of the bait that it produces I feel like, but if you get the right ones they make a nice bait for cheap.

I have never ordered any of their hand pour molds, but I am sure @Bluebasser86 is correct.
Boomstick reply :
I can usually get 4 or 5 fish on a soft plastic, sometimes more or less depending on the side of the fish and how they hit it. Often I don't catch enough fish during the course of the day to wreck the plastic, so it's not that bad.
Often a single plastic is good for a day. I always carry a few bags and when one gets low, I will buy another bag and once it runs out, I'll replace it with the new bag.

Not sure I get what you mean. I am looking at the 4.25” Erie darter and a 4” curl tail worm in particular, plus a couple others since we are ordering. What is maddening to me is their website and having to open every one it seems to find the size you want.

The Erie Carter would be the one to start with. Anything with a curled tail just doesn't seem to work right for me.

Both, they both make nice baits.
WRB reply :
Looking at the op's 2 containers of used soft plastics with hooks in them gathered over a 3 year period clearly indicates he is catching very few bass. Leaving hooks in soft plastics is a poor habit, the hooks rust and they are not being kept sharp.
There are only a few reasons to keep a torn soft plastic would be to mend it because you can't get it anymore or need that day because you ran of that particular soft plastic or want it for a jig trailer.
I like to catch more the 1 bass per soft plastic and sometimes can turn it over and reuse it, sometimes I go through several without catching a bass. I have unused soft plastics decades old and keep hundreds if not thousands in my boat year around. Used soft plastic are discarded in my trash can when I get home and never leave a hook in them.

That is so untrue it is not even funny. I tend to use baits I can catch 5 fish easily on, and 10 or more on many. I also have very few rust issues now that I use higher quality hooks instead of the standard slider head. That box has baits from just this year, but I do have some in planos that have been rigged longer. Hooks are sharp, baits catch fish just fine. I generally fish plastics on bottom so very rarely will a bait get torn by fish.
Always respected your posts, not sure why you chose to attack my bass catching abilities based on how I store my baits. Since I use the slider heads I use a snap, for a reason, which also allows me to switch out baits quickly too without having to take off a plastic. If a hook point is thrashed the hook is replaced. On the first page had a menace that got me 23 fish in around 2 hours and went through 3 packs in a week with each bait averaging 8-10 fish! Nough said!

Just responded to you said the plastics in the bins represent baits up to 3 years. The soft plastics clearly have jig heads.
I use hand pours that tear very easily, more then 1 bass is rare. As for leaving hooks rigged with soft plastic for days can dulls hook points from corrosion from thecimpregnated salt content and moisture.
You asked and question and that's my reply, sorry if upset you.

Just the few bass comment. WI bass are not as picky, steady diet of tubes, grubs, and ugly otters. If I have to finesse them it is the old Netbait slimshake or zoom swamp crawler. Have never owned a handpoured bait.
To be fair i do unrig most of the baits in those boxes at the end of the season, but still have my river bag rigged and ready to go especially if we have a warm winter and the river is open (shore fishing), and some other plastics stashed in a box ready to hit the river if I can sneak out. Only baits rigged from last year are a couple of the swimjigs and swimbaits. When I un rig them I do save the plastic and rerig it the next year. I should really not be so careful with my plastics, they take up too much space in storage. I also like to try new brands and styles every year.
