Sorry guys, but K.I.S.S. seems to apply to this post.
Okay, so, Trout Magnets are good especially under a float, Crappie Magnets get bit just as often and by EVERYTHING that swims - not just gills. Using the larger lure allow me to use a bit large hook and slightly heavier jig for longer casts.

Color - Pretty much most Magnet colors catch fish regardless the time of year or water color. The magic of the design is in the split tails. Something about their quiver......

Strorage - I mix different shapes and colors of soft plastics together in the same storage areas - even in a plastic snack bags when in a hurry, and colors don't rub off between lures stored together.

Plastics are NOT affected by the sun or heat when it comes to softness. A few colors may fade a bit but that's it; most are colorfast. (I dip the faded ones in Spike-It dye.)

If a soft plastic lure becomes waterlogged having been left in the rain, I let it dry and it's back to normal.

If a lure becomes deformed by not keeping it straight during storage or right from the factory, I soak it in hot water for a minute and then lay it out straight on a flat surface. Rejunenates deformed lures every time.
