So i got these 2 baits, iv'e had them for like 6 month tops, and the just bin hanging in my living room, with all my other baits.

But they gotten these brown shades (not very clear in the picture), and its not because they where touching other baits (bleeds)

Is it because of light, so i have to store them in dark places? is it something other people have experienced ?

My guess would be the lead used to weight the baits is why they are changing color.

Usually the lead inside the baits will interact with the plastic & cause them to discolor. Lead is not very clean so it's hard to use/find good clean lead. The color might change a little but those baits will still catch fish.

Yes, i have no doubt that the fish don't care at all :P but it's still annoying when ones white baits, turns flimsy brown:P

Location: Land of the Musky		You will see lots of lead heads covered in a foil on good baits. This stops the discoloring. Hooks can also discolor plastisol. Don't worry, the fish don't care.

Rather have a discolored American made bait any day.
