Storing Your Lures/Bars

[fountain17]

Just wondering how you all would recommend storing your spreader bars and trolling lures and such over the winter months. Mine are all cleaned up and rinsed off and are in the bags but i was wondering if I should hang them up completely stretched out somewhere so there is no memory on the mono.

Thanks

Thanks Brian. I'll add that to the list of "to do's". Happy Holidays.

I just hung 7 bars in the basement for the winter. The mono on the outside squids seem in pretty good shape since their only 1 season old. I have 25-30 daisy chains and zuckers to hang as well. Some of the bars have floats in them and some do not. The shapes on the squids without floats seem to be holding form just fine so far. I'll probably change out the mono on the hook squid baits this winter and oil /lube the barrel swivels too for those that have them..the crimps seem fine as well.
