Another issue with zman is if the tails are bent for a long period of time they will be warped into that position. Either the minnowz or diesel minnows come in clam shells which protect the tails from warping.

[@MrJohnB-qs6dp]

I took your advice a while back when back about storing soft plastics in the 3700 boxes and found out he ZMan Plastics didn't like it. lol Yeah, the stuck together and what a mess!! So I did what you did had the Zman hanging and forgot about them. I got the Plano 3500 bag and put them in there and now I just grab the bag. Instead of letting them hang on a peg they hang on a hook!!! Definitely wise to follow this bagging technique!!👊🏻 Stay Safe & God Bless!!

[@TackleJunky81]

Hey John, it's a shame they react the way they do with others, but the durability of them is awesome. Appreciate you watching buddy! 👊

[@TackleJunky81]

That's my plan the next few weeks as well...Spring can't get here fast enough!

[@borreholic7238]

I've personally never had any issues storing Z-man baits in Plano type boxes, even with standard soft plastics in other compartments in the same box. I'm mostly bank and kayak fishing with a limit on how much stuff I can bring, therefore bringing one full bag of each color of each Z-man plastic (or any softbait that comes in a large pack) I want to have with me is too much - instead bringing 1-3 of each color and storing them with similar colors to keep things condensed have worked like a charm so far. I store the bags at home and "refill" the boxes according to how many baits I ruined/lost during the last trip and which ones worked best and I want to bring more of the next session.

[@mikecondray773]

If you guys haven’t tried real VR fishing on the quest you need to I love it

I hated z-man at first because honestly I didn't know how to use them. I was used to pushing baits on and having to be easy with them but now I'm a huge z-man fan. Good info and vids. .

[@krdpoutdoors]

I'm a bank angler and i have to agree with Tackle junky81 here on this , keeping your soft plastic Zoom , Yum baits in a tackle binder very very meticulously organized nice and neat has its advantages , especially if youre a bank angler , take me for example i have 3 plano 4700 - B tackle binders 1. is my search box with 2 buzzbaits , 2.with crankbaits and 3. spinnerbaits , i made this be my search / rain box so i know to this box when it rains , i have a 2nd tackle binder 4700 - B plano that is my main box and that's also very very very meticulously organized , my 3rd plano 4700 - B is my soft bait tackle binder this has my craws all on the left side and my tad pole looking baits on the left side with my tube baits on the bottom again very very very meticulously organized this way when im out fishing on the bank , not only is everything very very very meticulously nice and neat , its also easier to access and i know where evrything is in case i need to use a trailer zoom craw or tube bait for my buzzbait or spinner baits.

i agree with Tackle Junky81 on this because , i to live by the motto you can never have too much fishing tackle , i was shopping at bass pro shop on monday the 10th this january and there was this employee who told a family member of mine this , when it comes to fishing a man can never have too much , its like a woman shopping she has a closet slapped full of clothes and footwear and she still constantly goes shopping for more footwear. so a woman shopping for footwear and more clothes is like a man shopping for fishing lures and tackle , you can never have too much fishing tackle and lures.

This is the one thing you and I disagree on completely- imo the best way to store any plastic is to simply leave it in the bag it came in. If I'm on a boat I'll throw the bags in one of those Plano filing system storage boxes for plastics, if I'm on the kayak I just put them in my black pack with the rest of my tackle, and if I'm on the bank they're in my back pack. And the max scent stuff dries out quickly- if you even open the bag and don't finish it for a long while- it loses a lot of the scent it originally had. I buy a lot of stuff off eBay and vendors have a bad habit of opening the bag to take a picture of one of the plastics to display- but then the bag sits there open until someone buys it. I don't like that- I always make sure to tell them I want a bag that's still sealed from the factory- that's why Berkley seals them, to hold in that smell and oil. Yum does the same thing because they know their baits last much longer and perform better if they don't dry out any. I'm a real stickler about it- I won't even break the seal on my plastics until it's time to throw them, and then if I don't use them up pretty quickly- if they start drying any- I put oil back in the bag and make sure it's sealing the best it can. It's probably stupid but- it's a confidence thing.
