I was given a soft-sided 3 ring binder thing full of "pages" (each one like a ziploc pouch) of soft plastics. Pretty much every size, color and style you can imagine. They are several yrs old but kept inside in a closet. They look and feel like brand new. How long will these keep under ideal conditions? Do they go bad?

I don't know but I have some that are probably 20 years old that are still good. Some colors will fade on you. Fish away!

They don't go bad. Sunlight can fade some tho. If they have bends or crooks due to long storage bent. You can drop them in hot water and straighten them out.

I have one of those 3 ring binder tackle bags for my Bobby Garland crappie baits and really like it.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Threw away a couple on strawberry Jelly Worms packs back in the fall that Tom Mann gave me in 1985. They were crooked, but just fine. Maybe '87. Whenever they had a tournament at West Point in the 80's.

I wish they had brought the old jelly worms back. I loved the black and watermelon.
