559.0. "Storing spinnerbaits....?" by VENOM::WATERS (The Legend of the Lakes) Mon Dec 28 1987 11:05

       I want to know how I can store my spinnerbaits this winter so
    I don't have to buy new rubber skirts in the spring.  Every sping
    I open up the tackle box to find all my rubber skirts stuck together.
    What can I do to prevent this from happening?
       I was thinking about making a peg board to hang them from...keeping
    them seperated.
       What do you other fishermen(?) do to protect your rubbers from
    getting stickie?!;-)

    (hmmm, better leave that last line well enough alone...)
    
    See note 553... but who wants their hula popper smelling like baby
    powder? ...maybe the fish like it ...maybe you could mix baby powder
    with FS454 or Berkley Strike, (yeah, that's it)
559.2VEGETABLE OIL !!!!MARCIE::UPRMon Dec 28 1987 15:309
     Try vegetable oil, It realy works.
    
    If you use anything with a sent, like babby powder you might as
    well throw them away. Fish can't smell vegetable oil, and as a matter
    of fact you can use it when your ice fishin in freezing weather
    to keep your hole from icing up on you. That is if your into ice
    fishing........

    You could try some of that "Armor-All"stuff. You know the kind for
    tires and car seats.
    
    I tried it on some really dried-out skirts and they came back to
    life real nice. It doesn't have any smell that i could detect either.

      RE.4
           You have to consider who your dealing with here......
    Do you think HE knows how to change the skirt on his spinners???
    or just the one he wears?..
