    I keep my gulp in a sealed tupperware container. I buy a big tub of gulp with all the juice and occasionally pour some juice into the tupperware container now and then. If you keep them airtight they wont dry out.


    All my other plastics I keep them in their original packets. Some mates place their packets into a photo album type of folder which allows easy access but I'm not that organarssed.


    Number one rule!!!!! Never mix plastics. Alot of them actually react with each other and wreck the lot.

    Some brand I just chuck in a tackle box (ie. Squidgys and Sliders) but I usually try to use a compartment that doesn't have any other soft plastic in it.
    Others (like stuff with scent inbuilt, or plastics that I know 'dont play well with others') I will put back in the original pack.

    Even brands that don't react immediately/quickly with other plastics will often eventually start to react with the tackle box over a long time, especially if left in the heat. But it works if you're going to be using it again within a short while.

    As the other lads do but what ever you do don't put your zmans on with other placcies they will melt together. I have them in a seperate container but even then they have made the lid buckle from the gases released from plastic s. I also have fresh and salt boxes just grab each when doing that particular exercise
    the world is a lot better place if you just smile

    these may be of interest to some.

    hi fellas, I'll have some samples of these next week. Some of the range is Zman proof, so I'll be able to give some feedback. Should be relatively well priced. Will save all the warped boxes I have now. They should hit the shelves in a month or so.
