| How do you store your baits?
At home?
In the Boat? |

| If you are asking where are our baits durring hard water, the answer is in the garage on shelves. If you are asking throughout the year, the answer is as follows...
I have finally found the solution to those bulky heavy and not to mention expenseive big bait boxes like Lakewoods. I hate them. They take up space and are a theft risk. I built plastic dividers like you see inside Flambeau Maximizer boxes and instered them into 3 huge dry storage compartments in my bass boat. Now my floor is free of those bigass boxes and everything is under lock and key. When I start the day I collect a few baits from the storage compartments and put them in my clear vision tubes on the pro-pole seat and I'm good to go for the day. If its a particularly miserable day, I take all the baits out of the tubes and got to the storage compartments for a fresh supply to soak. |

| at home I store them in some plano boxes, a plano over&under double box and empty plastic ice-cream boxes. I also have some workmen's boxes for the really large baits that don't fit into my plano's.
In the boat I usually have only the double plano box with me and a smaller plano with spinners and small lures as jigs, etc. |

| At home the rafter's work fine and I have a 2- 4 x 8 sheet's of peg board that holds a few.
In the boat it's a big Lakewood! |

| I'm with Luke on the Butyrate Tubing. I get 6' sections and cut it to accommadate any size bait. This stuff is a little on the pricey side so I always use the minimum wall thickness that I can get away with. .062 on the boat, .031 in the shop. |

| My boat doesn't have a lot of compartment storage, so I keep the bulk of my lures in a Lakewood box. When I visit someone else's boat, I really learned to like my Plano Soft Side. Pick your "dirty dozen" and go. I like to travel light.

| I'm confined to a 16' flatbottom, and not being very wide I don't have a ton of space. But I still have a flambeau maximizer with all my crankbaits and a big plano for all my other baits. Bucktails all go in a plano 3730 box. In the winter...same place. |

| Hi Guys,
I just want to offer up a hint of what NOT to do for those whom might not know as yet. Please, for your own benefit Don't leave your plastic lures in their clear store containers laying in the sun as the tremendous heat buildup can't escape and will super heat the plastic lure making it soft and expanding the trapped air in the hollow lure causing it to expand the lure and sometimes "bursting" it. In any case it will ruin your lure. Keep it where air can get to it and keep it from overheating to the bursting point. Thus the problem is not related to a defective product and I would hate to see anyone lose their investment.

| on the other hand, if you are looking to crack reef hawgs ... this is the way to do it! Even them stubborn 8"ers that won't crack at all. All my 8" reef hawgs have cracked. [:bigsmile:] |
