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?

stay in pristine condition


alas... westwood beat me too it as i took too long to type :(

many of todays lures are made to catch fisherman and not fish. the shiny outer coatings are nice, but how many lures in your tray are chewed up by fish? how many chewed up lures catch the most fish?

thats why i like x raps and hot n tots in the pretty finishes, and taildancers for action. the xraps and hot n tots and internal foils so they dont get damaged as much as external foils.

plus, i jam them in so tight there isnt much room to wiggle and scratch.
