Soft plastic lure maintenance

Do your soft plastics stick together in your tackle box, or have kinked and melted tails?

Perhaps the answer is no but you’d like to ensure it doesn’t happen.

In this video we show you a simple trick to straighten those kinks using boiling hot water.

And to avoid them sticking together, make sure you always store the same brand and type of lure separate to other lures.

So don’t store harder plastic lures with internal jig heads in the same box with traditional soft plastics such as worms and squiggies.

The plastics are different compounds and can react and stick together.
