A mate of mine dries his softbait after use before putting back into his gulp tub,Ive never bothered doing this and was wondering if any one else does this.seemed a bit over the top to me but he reckons the saltwater affects the juice in the tub.any thoughts.

seems to affect the juse as I had a tub go off on me

I have used the same tub for a good couple of years now used ones get chucked back in there and have no issues to date

never had a problem had them mix to @#$% and the still cranken 

i just throw my used ones overboard and why would you dry out gulps? if he is, they grow fungi and go moldy n stuff 

I havent used softbaits yet as i dont fish from a boat very often..but when i do im gonna just hang em on the clothesline with the teabags

Just put them back in the gulp liquid, thats what it is for. They will last and the gulp liquid doesn't go off at all. I have had some containers for well over a year - just add some more out of the empty containers. (Empty of lures.) Suspect if you have had a problem it's because the container is on an angle and there are lures out of the liquid, sum shining onto them probably doesn't help either.
