Worm Storage? Bag Or Box? 2024
Joedodge reply :
Do you guys keep your soft plastic ribbon tails and trick worms and such in the bags they came in in your tackl bag or boxes?
FloridaFishinFool reply :
Keep them in the bags they came in. This keeps them fresh and keeps the scent on them and your scent off of them.
Putting them in the box can get messy real fast.
And if you want to re-scent them, just open the bag and spray in the scent and close it up.
I often drop in other lures in there too before using them so they can pick up some scent too- if it helps any.
long island basser reply :
They stay in original packaging and are then put in my extra large binder that I keep all my plastics in.
mjseverson24 reply :
I use the plano water proof boxes for all of my tackle... This way it is much easier to see all the colors and options while still keeping the bait nice and fresh... This system IMO is the most efficient method I have seen, especially if you bring a large amount of tackle...

Joedodge reply :
Awesome. I keep them in original bags, but saw some folks in other posts say they have dedicated boxes for plastics. So thought I'd ask
whitwolf reply :
I keep them In the original bags and take what I need from the fishing closet and place the bags in the side pockets of my tackle bag. I also put a few bags of what I expect to start with in the mesh front outside pocket.

I do have dedicated boxes for plastics but I keep all of the in their original packaging. Within the boxes I sort them by type of worm, flukes & minnows, craws, frogs, and tubes. I don't really sort by color but I have a good idea where everything is so it isn't hard to get to.
rippin-lips reply :
I keep mine in plano boxes and label them. Craws,flukes,senkos,beavers,ect it lets me easily tell what I'm getting low on and need to buy. I can also grab the exact box I need while fishing and don't waste time digging around in compartments. I also take 2 boxes and create an assortment of go to stuff that I'll be using so I have it ready and within reach. For bank fishing I just make up 3 boxes with various things for the day and this will be what I do for kayak fishing this year too. Keep it light.

I do the same.
I have to bring everything in one bag if entered in a tournament and having mutiple bags doesn't make sense.
I use the plano boxes with the permanent vertical dividers that I store vertically in the bag and label as:
* Stick... Senkos, sluggo's, trick worms, cut r's, etc.
* Creature...beavers, brush hogs, tubes, lizards, etc.
* Swim...big ez, flukes, skinny dippers, etc.
Another box for frogs, top water, cranks/jerks/traps, and terminal tackle.

+1 ... What FFF said !!
MichiganBass80 reply :
I use one of these for all of my Strike king prefect plastics/rage baits. For my Senkos, I basically use just one color, baby bass, so I keep all of my packs of those in one large ziplock bag. Any other plastics that I only have a pack or two of, are put in a plastic grocery bag for now.
Brnnoser6983 reply :
Original bag, but store them in a box and when i go out I put them into there own separate bag to carry.
Unless you know what can mix with I wouldn't mix. I have put plastics into a of their own to find them melted mess...

I just picked one of these up from TW. I like it, but not in love with it for plastic storage.

Yeah, Its kind of bulky. Once I figure out what I am going to be using for the day I leave those packs out and toss the box back in the storage compartment. I really wish there were more slots for the dividers so I can organize it a bit better.

Ultimately I would like to have one container per style, but my collection of softs isn't large enough to require more.

I saw another guy using these for plastics. Seemed like a pretty nice box and efficient system.On 1/18/2015 at 8:06 AM, MichiganBass80 said:I use one of these for all of my Strike king prefect plastics/rage baits.

FishTank reply :
I keep them in the original bags inside an extra large BPS worm bag. I would love to replace it but they don't make the model I have anymore. I can't find one big enough.
tnbassfisher reply :
These are a pretty good idea, but at $25 a piece, you could probably save a bunch of money with some good tubberware containers and thick pieces of cardboard stuck in there for dividers. Just a thought.On 1/18/2015 at 8:06 AM, MichiganBass80 said:I use one of these for all of my Strike king prefect plastics/rage baits.

Not sure where you seen em for $25, but we only paid I think $11-12 each for ours (I bought one and my dad bought one)
Montanaro reply :
I'm using a binder now and don't like it. It's organized but difficult to use. I want one of those zerust boxes
sbeetz reply :
I keep mine in original packaging and as soon as the wife isn't paying attention I will be buying a plano kvd speedbag worm file. It holds 45 bags according to the TW website. Trying my hardest to be a co-angler this year.

Siebert Outdoors reply :
Both.
Some things I put in 3700 like tubes lizards, and some other baits. Things like Rage Craws, Menace, etc I have them in the original packaging then in a box like above. This helps keep them organized.
Fishes in trees reply :
The correct answer is "all of the above" Keep soft plastics in their original packaging, unless that packaging is broke, then, for the most part quart sized zip lock freezer bags work. Keep similar styles of soft plastics grouped together in gallon size zip lock bags. You may have to go to sub categories here. For instance, in the category of "finesse worms" there is a separate gallon zip lock for Trick worms, another for 5" paddle tail worms, another for Brewer Slider worms, another for off-brand 4" to 6" straight tail finesse worms. Zoom finesse worms rate their own bag and so forth.
Spare and overflow soft plastics are kept in plastic shoe boxes ( available at Walmart for around a buck each ) Now, however many different categories of soft plastics you think you need, these go into a canvas bag or a duffle bag. My boat has a minimal amount of storage, so I just throw the bag on the boat floor and try not to trip over it.
Please be mindful that there isn't any perfect soft plastic storage method, and for me at least, everything is subject to change and re-organization.
Bankbeater reply :
I keep them in their bags. Then I fold the bags and put them in a 370 box. I have a box for creatures, worms, and soft jerkbaits.
JT Bagwell reply :
I leave all of my soft plastics in whatever bags Yamamoto ships them in. Sometimes it is the 10 count bags and sometimes it
is the 100 count bulk bags. It just depends what it is.
Joedodge reply :
Thanks for all the great replys everyone. It's awesome to see the different opinions

Thats the Terminal tackle satchel. Basically the same thing as the one I have, but it comes with 8 boxes that you store inside of the bigger box. Thus the $25 price tag. I noticed they had the same thing on TW, along wit the one I posted.
corn-on-the-rob reply :
I used to keep everything in original bags, then put same types together in a large freezer bag, It is great for space efficiency but it was always a pain for me to find the item I needed.
I switched this year to plano boxes (3700) and each can hold a good amount of plastics. For example just pick up my drop shot box, and I can readily see and take anything I have in there without sorting through stuff, just grab, open, pick, close, done. Now that I have voiced this as a great option, there are two down sides:
Space efficiency - Although organized and clean the boxes take up a rigid space that is larger than using plastic bags. In a boat this can work but as a co-angler it may not be possible to lug around a ton of boxes if you needed them.
Capacity - The 3700 boxes I have will hold 9 different plastics around 15-20 in each slot. This is decent but for many fisherman 9 different worms in a "worm" box would not even come close to cutting it so you would need multiple boxes for just one style of plastic.
That being said the limited capacity works really well for me. It makes me limit what I carry so I have to slim down and only put in what I consider essential items. I have a box of each of these plastics: drop shot, worm/grub, fluke/paddletails, craw/tube, creature/beaver. For example in the drop shot box I have 3 colors of powerbait minnows both in 3'' and 4'', 3 colors of small drop shot tubes, and 3 colors roboworm. It is a simple selection but I feel in almost any conditions that the selection would work sufficiently. I also like it a lot because when I have fewer selections I don't constantly second guess myself during a tournament.
Hyrule Bass reply :
in the original packaging, always. may combine one or two baits from one bag into another new bag of the same exact plastic to save on space...
