How to you store your, baits, lures and urines if you don't have a refrigerator designated for it. I can freeze it however.

Somewhat cool place out of the sun. Properly preserved bait/lure doesn't need refrigeration

I use a small non working refrigerator in my fur shed. Keeps them from freezing in the winter or cooking in the summer. Also seals in any smells that may escape from the bottles.

I just store mine in the fur shed on a shelf.
I do clean the lid an jar mouth and smear a lil glycerin on before closing lid.

Old ice chest workout good for storage also.

It's how I haul lure and bait to convention's.


Let me sugar coat this

`I keep everything frozen. I called and spoke to my top producing bait maker and ask how they suggested I keep the partial and unopened bait. They said, freeze it all! So, since I’ve got the freezer running(non-frostfree) I keep every lure and bait frozen, partial or unopened in it including yours Beartooth.

BTW Beartooth, what lures are you making or selling along with your baits?

Do all these bait and lure dealers have different ways of storing all their goods In the off season? Maybe the boss will chime In.

I store my lures and baits In several ammo cans.

Long term storage in glass most baits dry out in plastic jars over time, I've had stuff in glass for many years that did not dry out but broke down nicely.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I thought most lures and baits were designed not to freeze ?

I have discovered to cut down on the smell of stored baits and lures filling a space that if I put them in Styrofoam coolers with tight fitting lids the smell doesnt get out if at all. Especially if you can get the good medical supply coolers with the lids that slide on. I store all of my call lures in these and I cannot smell them at all. Works well enough my wife tolerates them anyways. Other than that my other stuff like baits and lures and what nots just sit on the shelf for sale and or in my lure box for trapping.

This^^^^^ Keeps the smells contained, they're cheap at yard sales and you can organize your lures and baits

I store mine in sealed storage bins, covered on all sides, with cat litter. It is stored in an outside shed. They freeze in the winter, thaw in the summer, and do what they do the rest of the time. I have bins I haven't opened in a several years, except to grab a new pint or two for the current season,...after I made a couple of 5 gal buckets of bait...a lifetime supply...lol

Seasonal changes don't seem to have changed the bait. Smell and work great!
