Jax I am somewhat shocked to see all your crank baits lumped together in a single compartment. Not a good plan and here's why.......

Given the sharpness of today's ultra sharp hooks you are damaging the finishes on your lures as they are transported. The "sheen" will slowly but surely dissipate. Which begs the next question.......why should you care?

This thinking didn't originate with me and I can't remember the article but it had the ring of truth to it and I have held the authors observation as a truism.......most aquatic creatures have a coating of sorts.......frogs and fish for example. This bit of slime does have a slight sheen to it. Make sense?

Does it make a difference? Who knows, maybe and maybe not. Or maybe both......no difference to small fish but perhaps might cause a pause for big fish (something is not quite right).

So, if I have more than one crank bait together they will have bonnets on the hooks but mostly my cranks are kept separate and stay in pristine condition.
