JDBaits Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I was thinking of getting a few plaino boxes for finished baits, id put each scent in a seprate box and add a few drops before closeing the lid, anyone try this? good idea/bad idea? any feedback would be greatly appreatiated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabskie Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hey JD ,,,I've been thinking the same thing, I have been keeping my store bought senko's ,,worms,,ect,,in them ,,been doing it for years with no problem as long as you don't mix colors,,,,they have been keeping good,,no fading,,I am just getting into pouring my own,,,I don't see why it won't work,,,,looking forward to see if anyone else is doing it.

nova Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 The only problem with"salted" baits in a plano box is that if you live in a humid or damp area the salt will draw moisture from the air and the baits will swell and the salt will be depleated. I keep mine in a plano box but I put them in ziplock bags and sqieeze as much air out of the bag as I can. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 For years now I have been using the containers that have a silicon seal.They keep the tubes fresh,and keeps the oder out of the car,or house.The garlic was so strong I couldn't handle it.I have a bunch of these boxes from small to large,some to store bulk,some to put in my fishing vest.

nova Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I've got those as well but sometimes the seal will pinch or come out of it's channel and cause an air leak. When this happens you will run into trouble. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojon Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Nova, That is true.You have to be careful.If the seal gets twisted,you lose the seal,and this happens often enough to be a pain.I don't really know how to glue it in place.Not much sticks to silicon.

nova Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I don't know how to make it stay in the channel either. All I know is that when I'm in a tourny I don't want to waste my time messing around with a blue piece of silicone. The ones that mess up I just take out and forget. It's just one of those things that on the surface is a good idea but it was poorly engineered. www.novalures.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmerbaits Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 We store our baits in Rubbermaid container and use the Cling Wrap Press and Seal on the top then put the lid on. Works great for us. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabskie Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hey Charlie,,do you store them with oil or without ? Dabskie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmerbaits Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Usually very little oil. It doesn't take much. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Watch out with storing baits with scent on it. I've found that it softens the bait a bit and makes them sticky to the touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
