Can you use plastic baggies like ziplock to store brand specific plastics. What about hard plastic tackle storage boxes. Will the soft plastics react with the hard plastic

Looks like Otis knows what to do!
Excellent advice as always. I also liked the 11 for1 pack for a handy variety easy to take on on yak or in my fishing bandolier when wading.

The 11 for 1 was a bit of a light bulb moment for me when a variety of the Salt Strong lures arrived in the same package. I set up a couple of these; one is in my wade fishing setup and the other I take in my kayak. I can grab the one package and switch lures while I find out (hopefully) what the fish are interested in. I have full packages of the reliables available but don’t have to look through all of them to make a quick change.

The recommendation to store in the packaging they came in is practical for traditional soft plastics in baggies, but not so much for things like Chasebaits, Savage crabs etc. We all have boxes, trays and bags that organize our lures and adding bulky packaging just isn’t very efficient. 2 questions: Is it as simple as going by TPE or not? All TPE can touch and all non-TPE can touch? Second question is about the trays — are all of the new ones OK for all storage? It used to be that Zman would react badly with the plastic of the tray itself, but that seems to have been (at least mostly) fixed now.

ElaZtech is partially TPE, and Z-Man’s proprietary formula. It’s a hybrid material that is 80% oil and 20% styrenic block copolymer (TPE) + a small amount of heat-resistance additives. So mixing various TPE baits together seems questionable to me – – might work on some, not on others. Z-Man will enter into licensing agreements with other companies so ElaZtech lures carry their own brand label. So if you see ElaZtech on the packaging, those should be safe to commingle with Z-man plastics. Strike King with their Redfish Magic Zulu, Redfish Magic Glass Minnow, and 3X Zero Sinking Stick worms are examples.

I stored two bait busters in the Plano 3700 series box, and they wrapped the grey sides of the row they were in.

All the slam shady stuff Saltstrong sent me melted together into a big glob of nothing. It would be nice if I hadn’t seen this video a month after joining… thanks Salstrong…NOT

Are ZMann lures and Brazilian Power Prawns made of the same material?

I was well aware of this problem of incompatible plastics. I have globs of experience.

I thought all z-man plastics could be stored together?
