Poly bags vs. Sandwich bags

Is there a reason that everyone used poly bags instead of sandwich bags? It seems like the poly bags are much more expensive. As of now I am just making baits for personal use and the sw bags seem to work fine.

Re: Poly bags vs. Sandwich bags

Polypropelyne bags are clear and will not take on the colour of your baits as quickly. They do not let oxygen in or out, scents are trapped inside. The less expensive version is made of polyethelyne and is less clear and is oxygen permiable. If your planning on selling in stores, the polypro are more attractive for display. Making your own with a heat sealer is even cheaper, I think ?

Re: Poly bags vs. Sandwich bags

Those guys said it right, poly is the only way to go. Not just if you plan on selling your creations but for personal use also.

Re: Poly bags vs. Sandwich bags

Just an added note to everyone elses statement. I switched from the Poly bags to the barrier bags a couple of years ago. No matter how thick the poly they will still not contain the scent and softness of the baits like the barrier bags will.

Yes they are more expensive but if your selling in my opinion they are well worth it. Even for my own use I use the barrier bags.

Re: Poly bags vs. Sandwich bags

I think he might be talking about the laminated "worm proof" bags? AWESOME product, but like charmer said........VERY expensive.

Lure Craft sells them here......

Materials & tools > Envelopes & bags > Laminated Reclosable Worm Proof Bags : These 3 mil. laminated reclosable w - LureCraft

Unfortunately, no pictures.

Do you have links for Inpact or Johnson? How do their prices compare to Lurecraft? We are going to pour up some stock over the winter and need to have a good shelf life so I think it is time to change to laminate bags.
