What do you store your rigged plastics in?

What do you store your rigged plastics in? I glue my plastics on
jigheads and often have several rigged up of my favorite colors and then some other random colors... Problem is I have them in a small Plano box and drop them in my backpack and when I get them out a lot of the tails are bent up and it drives me crazy... Does anyone store them like flies in foam? I'm just trying to keep them straight and I need a way
to store probably 20 or 30 rigged soft plastics... Any tips or ideas would be great... Just trying to organize some stuff before spring... Thanks everyone

I use a worm binder. It looks like the old cd binders, but each sleeve is like a Ziploc.

Dont think your plastic grubs will play nice with foam.

I use a worm binder and little ziplock a

I am mostly referring to the ones already on a lead head... I guess I could put them down in a binder and line the tails up straight but I don't know

That's what I do. I thread the plastic onto the jig head, then line them up straight so the tails stay flat. I haven't had any problems with the hook piercing the pouch.

But while on the subject of binders which brand do you prefer?

Personally.Do not like storing jigheads already rigged with plastic. Plastic's and jighook's,leadhead,tinhead's whatever you use do not mix good asking for problem's.Like to store them separate box's bag's.Just my two cent's.

Can you elaborate on this? I have some pre packaged jigs that I bought several years ago that look the same way they did when I bought them.

From my experience its better to not store them. Yes the idea is great having stuff pre rigged up and ready to go. I used to do that in a Plano box but over time the colors seem to fade and get dirt and other crap mixed in with plastics staining them. Now I just have a.tray with just the plastics only. Works good for me

The plastic melts and the jigheads eat the hooks unless they are gold hooks or blacknickle and will oxidize from moisture unless kept in a cool dry place. That's my experience. Like to have the plastic's in one bag or box,jigheads,hook's in another. just my Two cent's for what it is worth.

I kept them in the original bag and store them in deep Rubbermaid box. The colors and baits don't ruin like this.

I only keep a few of each color rigged at a time and I restock when needed. So they don't stay unused for more than a few weeks.

I use the worm binders. My trick is i put a few drops of mineral oil in the bag to coat it and the bodies to keep them from breaking down and getting kinked up with the others.
I do not store them rigged on a jig head though. It may work but it only takes 15 seconds to thread a body on a jig.

I never rig any plastics till I am about to leave and that's the one on the rod and or rods .....

I switch plastics a lot and glue all my plastics on jigheads

Only time I've ever had to resort to gluing a plastic bait to the jighead was when I was using hollow tubes (BPS Squirmin Squirts & such). I just got tired of Bluegill and short striking Crappie pulling the tubes down on the hook. Gluing them solved that problem, but then the Bluegill simply ate all the "legs" off the tubes :banghead

I went to solid body plastics and haven't had that problem since :ThumbsUp
