willreinicke Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 How do you guys do it without bending tails? I have a bunch of plastic bags that hang and I have a huge wall in my shed of soft plastics I pour but if I let swimbaits sit too long on the wall, the rails start to get funky. Wondering if there is a better method. It’s not terrible, it might just be an OCD thing but I package lightly with worm oil to prevent sticking. Just noticed that tails start to bend and hold that bend after a little time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpssports Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 We use clamshell packaging from eclamshell.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1 Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Drop them in very hot water. They become pliable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassinfool Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 You can fix the ones with bent tails just by dipping them in near boiling water and then laying them out as straight as possible. Most guys are using clamshell packaging to try and prevent the bending. However, unless you're using formed packaging that conforms to individual baits it is possible you will still get some tail bending given enough time.

willreinicke Posted April 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Well spent a full day remelt and reshooting the baits to fix the bent tails, had no idea about the boiling water trick. Have them hanging and clamshells ordered. I’ll give it a shot, thanks for all the replies. Edited April 3, 2022 by willreinicke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
