Title: Packing different color plastics
Post by: dmccoyks on April 20, 2017, 01:28:29 PM
Sorry it this has been asked before. Is it okay to pack different colors of plastics together or will it change the colors of the plastics. Thank you.

Depending on the color differences, it will bleed. I had purple and watermelon lizards together in the same bag for walking the bank. I now have watermelon purple lizards.  lo

Like LMG, I've sometimes put a few in a bag together and they seem to always bleed into each other.

They will bleed together, try placing the worms in sandwich bags and then place the sandwich bags in a larger ziplock bag that way the worms will be together and separated by colors.

I'm not even joking, I've bought some watermelon worms with purple swirl and it's been my most productive color for the last 3 seasons...by far

To this point, what I have been doing is just leaving the baits in their original packaging because it holds the oils and scent better than sandwich bags.
But This same method, I put the original bags in a big freezer gallon bag. Label the big gallon bag depending on what baits I have in there. So I will generally put worms together, swimbaits together, creatures and craws together and then throw the gallon bags in my tackle bag.

Otherwise they will bleed together.

That's interesting I had watermelon needle worms and purple ones put them together now I just have a bunch of purple worms. No swirls. The worms just absorbed that purple. Which reminds me those were productive for me on a shaky head. I should use them more often.

I've had bleeders, melters, dryers.....

I will never, EVER let that happen again.

they all ended up in a congealed gray lump.
