Problem with some lures!!!!!

Got some lures that I thought would do well and to be honest they did attract a follow ...BUT They melted in the car!!!
It was not a very hot day, was a nice day tho. Had them in the bait box in the car until about 2pm and then left work for a fishing session when got there one had melted to a blob and the other of the same type was OK. All the others were OK (not affected by the heat) but some had been in the same compartment of the box.........joined the blob!

I got them from the tackle shop in Llandudno the one down the side street at the back of ATS.

Moral of the story is don't buy the ones that are loose in a box with no trade name unless you know what they are!

Just thought I had better say what lures they were

They are a white sand eel Type with a tail. They have a hollow section so hook fits better and can be changed easy, they come with a silver hook fitted.

Smell them.....if they have a scent of bathroom sealant they are prob the ones that melt and only good for filling the gap around the bath if a warm spring day

I seem to recall rading somwhere, it might've been on here but I cant find it. jelly lures can melt if not stored in their packaging or a box made for them. Something to do with how the plastics react together.

Good point Largerider

Think that is something else I will have to keep an eye on. There is a problem with some plastics where the .....in basic terms the atoms move from one to the other (Migration of polymers) but this only happened to one and not the other of the same type. Both in the same conditions so not sure.
It may have reacted with the other lures it was with but never seen it so dramatic as to be a blob within a few hours........
mmmmmmmm interesting thought ho will take that one and see cheers mate
