I was keeping mine in an old tackle box cause the lures fit good in the plug compartments, and he baits in the bottom. I'm guessing either fluctuating temps or air pressures made most of them seep out. What do you guys use to carry or transport your baits and lures in? Last edited by RV6; 05/21/19 08:53 PM.

It's been divided with card board, but isn't now. Sets nice in truck floor or seat and fits under the shop bench in off season. For storage of extra lures not in use the foam frozen food shipping boxes work well.

Temps or air pressure - not the reason for seepage. They probably leaked because lids contained cheap cardboard liners. We use poly caps or plastisol lined metal - no leakage allowed!

Almost anything that would typically freezer burn, dry out, or harden. I bought one cheap at an estate auction and I reuse the bags. Cans of paint that don't fit in a seal bag I store upside down so the product self seals the lid. Same thing for leftover trap dip/dye.
