When fishing in the winter months, soft plastics can be a great choice. However, the cold temperatures can cause your plastics to stiffen up and become ineffective. This is why it is important to keep them warm and flexible, so that they have their maximum movement and action when you use them. One way that you can do this is by keeping the soft plastics that you know you are going to use in your pocket. This will keep them warm and make them much more effective when you finally decide to use them.
