| Was sorting through the tackle box last night getting ready for the opener. Anyways had a compartment that had a bulldawg and a believer in it together and at the places where the two lures where touching the paint job on the believer was getting eaten away. What kind of plastic do they use in them things? I've had a squirlley burt in with other lures and never had a problem with the tail on those eating away at other baits. So now all Bulldawgs stay together. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | I've had it happen with the plastic tails on Rizzo Whizzes before. Since then I keep all my plastics clear of any other baits. I don't know if they would all have the same effect but I don't care to experiment and find out. |

Location: Alexandria, MN | Any of those plastics with a "shine" and/or "greasy" feel will eat un-protected paint, and some other plastics. Always keep your softplastics in a wormproof container and away from painted lures with no clear coat.
I have had Jakes, Swim Whizz, Believers and Painted Blades all "attacked" by softplastic.
Just try to keep them seperate and things will be fine. Except for that Believer -- Once "melted" that mess is hard to clean up.

| Yeah! This is very common, especially with older collectible lures. The infamous "worm burn" where a rubber worm was lying next to a nice wooden bait and over time takes the paint off down to the wood. I've had platics touching each other that have changed colors when mixed. |

Location: Lafayette, IN | BE AWARE.... "XXX" plastics and other new generation plastics with the super stretch properties will literally disolve older generation plastics so DON"T MIX THE TWO IN THE SAME COMPARTMENT! You will wind up with jelly instead of trailers. FYI |

Location: Davenport, IA | Believers have a very sensitive paint too. They can get ruined from the sun, so be careful. Definetly never mix the new "tough" soft plastics with regular soft plastics, thats a mess. |
