(4.153.251.32) | Yesterday I was reading the fine print (yes, I was using a magnifying glass) on the bottom of a Lucky Craft lure package and noted the following: "The lure may partially expand and burst in an ambient temperature of 40°C, so please store it in a location of relatively low temperatures." Other Lucky Craft packages had the same warning.
The conversion from 40°C to °F gives us 104°F, which is not all that hot. We easily exceed that temperature in the cab of a vehicle on a sunny day.
I don't have much experience with these lures, but it appears that a person could lose a lot of money if he was not careful. A lure that was running well could become distorted and ruined with exposure to high temperatures if the warning is correct. |

(69.85.113.209) | A friend had this happen to his LC. He keeps his baits in a tackle box on the floor of his boat year round. His jerkbaits expanded and cracked down the middle. |

(192.234.167.242) | Oh boy! I have just purchased a crap load of lucky craft lures. Seems pretty crappy that an expensive lure like that would fail. Thanks for the post.  |

(68.169.132.60) | Norman lures such as little N's and dd22's are bad about swelling and cracking. Never had anything happen to my Lucky Crafts. |
