    What's your favorite way to store Keitechs?

    The packages they come in take up so much space in the boat. Does anyone have any good storage methods?

    Same. I think they would cost less If they didn’t package in the hard plastic

    Cut off the excess plastic on the packaging and keep them in a right sized Tupperware style bin. Some get away with just dumping them in a ziploc bag, but I had issues when I did that.

    I take em out Of the pack and put in a ziplock bag. I used to not, but I’ve never had any issue of it. Even if I have a bait here and There that gets kinked, it’s well worth that to not have to screw with those packs. And besides if I do get a bad one, all you gotta do is put it in some hot water for a bit and it will straighten itself right out.

    I bought a KVD Plano tackle bag. The small one and they fit perfectly and the bag takes up very little space. I use the pockets for the Easy Shiners and Some Zakos. I don't really care for the packaging and think it would make the baits cheaper with a simple bag.

    The tails will get folded and not swim as well if left of the pack. The packs are the best way to store if possible.

    I have mine separated by color in a plano 3700. Discarded baits get put in bags heated in water to straighten any kinks then back into the plano or used as trailers for bladed jigs with the paddle cut off. Zero issue with them swimming with this method.

    Used to put them in Plano 3700s, they stored well but the stink got old! I now keep them in original package in small bins in my boat.
