Had one of my clear crank plano boxes setting on the deck yesterday in the direct sun. Box was a little warm to the touch but nothing to bad. Apparently is was warm enough that the bandits in it didnt like it, lol. They are all still usuable but just look a little different now.
Get a B & B box and you won't have that problem.

True..... I usually put the boxes back in my bag but I may upgrade to one of those boxes for next year. Heck, ive pretty much bought everything I have twice anyways, lol.Quote:

I always have a towel on the deck to wipe my hands with....If I have a plastic box out with baits in it...I just keep my towel laying over the box....problem solved.
Duct tape is help anything!!!!!!!! Just cover the top of your clear box with duct tape! Worked for me.
Ya, I will put the boxes back in the bag or lay a towel over em for now on. I knew people talked about em splitting before so I just wanted folks to know it dont take a lot of exposure to cause this. We tried a lot of different colors yesterday and I just left a couple of boxes out. Only the top box had this happen since it was directly in the sun. Easy to prevent if you understand this before it happens. Lesson learned here.
I think those are ruined. Just send them to me Handi.
Put you a coat of Sallys hard as nails clear polish over them cracks to reseal and keep paint from pealing back. Crappie cowboy can probably help you with the polish.

Well I just learned something again.
at least they weren't good colors to start with. lol
Might want to try some Solar screen,you can put it on a window and it blocks over 90% of the uv rays,most hardware or auto parts places sell it.Easy to put on.
handi, I have a couple of bandits that look exactly like that, lol!
what is a B & B box?
Another option is the Special Mate Tackle box (cranks hang by hook similar to B and B box):
