Soft Bait Maintenance Guide
1. Cleaning Procedures
Rinse after use
Wash with room-temperature water immediately to remove algae, sand, and salt residues. Avoid hot water to prevent deformation.
Avoid chemicals
Never use detergents or alcohol—they dissolve plasticizers and accelerate aging.
2. Storage Requirements
Temperature control
Store at 59-82°F (15-28°C). Temperatures <50°F (10°C) cause brittleness; >104°F (40°C) melts bait.
Moisture & light
Keep humidity below 60% RH. Always store in dark places—UV light fades colors and degrades material.
Packaging rules
Use original or polyethylene (PE) bags only. Hard plastic cases may deform tails/fins.
3. Organization Principles
Separate by color
Prevent dye transfer—especially fluorescent baits.
Protect shapes
✘ Never curl worms—store straight.
✘ Use cardboard dividers for baits with fins.
4. Critical Don'ts
Action | Risk |
Refrigeration | Molecular breakdown & cracking |
Lubricant use | Surface stickiness |
Sun drying | Instant deformation |
Mixed storage | Color contamination |
5. Pro Tips
Salt-infused baits: Dry thoroughly before storage to avoid surface crystallization.
Travel tip: Wrap bait boxes in reflective foil when leaving in vehicles.
Tackle box setup: Use anti-static PE bags to reduce dust adhesion.
