DoubleT Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I have some really big grubs that I use for musky fishing. I ordered some a while back and just left them packaged up and in a box with some other grubs. This morning I got one out and it has a large flat spot on its side from where it was mashed in the box with the other stuff. Is there a quick and easy way for it to go back to its original shape or will it ever for that matter? I see online where some folks dunk them in hot water but that seems to be for bent baits. The tail is still nice and straight its just the body of the grub is mashed and out of round. Thanks for any info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglinarcher Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 The hot water trick is the only way I know of. I tried a heat gun and melted the plastic. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleT Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I soaked it in boiling water and got zero results. Didn't do a thing. I'm gonna let it sit and hope for the best. I thought about the heat gun but figured I would melt the plastic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitjunkys Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) If its flat in the box hot water is not gonna work, They were packaged to soon. Hot water will adjust bends etc but not remove deformities. Edited February 10, 2018 by Baitjunkys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleT Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 It may have been that way when I received it and I just didn't notice it. I figured that it had gotten mashed by something else in the box while I had them in the closet. I'm hoping that it will go back to its original shape.

I should have been more clear with my original post. I use them as part of a musky lure that I make. Thanks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
