PRED-ATOR Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 dont keep them with other plastics or put them in another tackle box (unless they are the z-mannboxes) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonD Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I stick several packs into one ( all touching each other) which seem to be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonD Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 6 hours ago, Rah said: All zman though? Yes and also in the Zman packet. I have had lures melt together by mixing them and placing them in plastic lure containers. You have to wonder how your mono will stand when a lure is hooked up against a rod allowing the plastic to be in contact with the line for long periods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasponge Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Always store zmans dry with no other plastics or lures, otherwise they will melt. If storing in a plastic container, it needs to be "wormproof". As long as they're not with other plastics/lures you should be right. I store mine in a good quality snap lock plastic container and they're good. But i find the pink zmans leach out their colour if stored with other zmans. They end up very pale, almost white. Dont go soft though. Havent had probs with other colours, just the pink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miketheangler Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Keep em in original packaging away from direct sunlight. Store the packaging somewhere sunlight can't get thru like a tackle bag or I just use a school pencil case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
