I’m looking for a better way to store my plastic worms. I’ve got the Bass Mafia money bags and they are ok but I’m looking for boxes similar to crank baits boxes with the latches. I’d like the box to be about three inches deep so I can lay my worms in their packaging flat…..I don’t want to remove them from the packaging and just lay them in a storage box and neatly stack them in my rear compartments. Anyone know of where to get something like this? Tackle warehouse didn’t have these. Thanks.

Just having to open it and dig thru it. I just keep all my plastic in a cheap plastic sterilite tote with the lid off. It’s the width and height of most soft plastics and you can just line them up in there pretty easy plus those plastic totes are cheap.

Something like this, you can put probably 40 bags of soft plastics in a row in there.

This, someone on TFF showed me this a while back and I ran with it. Since most soft plastics come in a resealable bag this works perfect. I got mine at the Dollar General.

Boxes like the above if you like them. I've gone to storing like items in 2 gallon ziplock bags I keep in the small cooler portion of the boat for the ones I use all the time.

Have you tried throwing them all over the boat in every box. The packages come open and they dump out everywhere. That's my go to method

+1 I have several of them in the boat with different baits in them. They are cheap and work well. I got mine at Walmart. Walmart has a bunch of types like this one to choose from so you can pick out which one works best for you.

The Z-Man storage bags are the best system I have ever used. There a smaller and a larger version.

I use plastic shoe boxes from the container store and they work great. I would attach a link but don’t know how.

Used the boxes and couldn’t fit all of the boxes my my storage area. Eventually just went to 2-gallon ziplocs. Works well for me. Now without the boxes I have even more room for lures I will never use.

I use 1 gallon ziplock bags, each bag has a difference style of worm. This allows me to store them in the locker much easier than a hard box. When I'm not using lizards, that bag goes out of the boat. I like the bags with a slider. I used to have bigger hard totes, but they were harder to fit in the mix of other boxes.

No help to you I know but I’ve tried many ideas over many decades. One gallon zip-lock bags labeled w/a sharpie has worked better than anything else. One w/worms, one w/creature baits, one with craws, one w/big worms…..you get the idea. Just leave em in their factory sealed bags & put the bags in a labeled zip lock bag. Easy to locate, keeps them separate & fresh…… Not perfect but cheap, easy and better than any other “system” I have tried……
