Any Sakura boxes or the cheaper version made by snowbee.They tend to be overpriced for what they are,the only advice to bear in mind is after using the plastics be sure to put them in separate compartments to dry off as when certain plastics are put together they can react with each other and go soft and tacky :cry:

Also, be careful if you are tempted to use a cheap box from a DIY store for soft plastics.

Many of the moulding processes for these boxes use "release oils" to help them out of the mould.

These oils will dissolve most soft plastics.

I know this from bitter experience. :(

Sometimes I wrap mine in cling film if they are going to be next to each other. Has worked so far. I think its the vios mineral ones that give most of the problems like xlayers and spindleworms etc.

Keep them in original packaging the only safe way to store them,I threw out a yo-Zuri plug recently paid a few quid for it and one small plasti bead ate into the side of it and softened the lure :evil:
