"Plastec" is the name given by ZMan for their proprietary form of TPE material. It's different to the TPE material used in Zerek, Chasebait, Transams & Barumbah lures but still has to be stored away from traditional plastasol soft plastics. I store each of my straight TPE and Zerek TPE soft plastics in individual zip lock bags laid flat in a PVC free lure box.

This is the only ZMan soft plastic that I carry in my barramundi kit.

It gets a swim only a couple of times a year and whilst I have had some follows and a couple of hits I haven't hook up on this set up yet.

When it does hook up I am sure it will be a lot of fun.

Zerek, Chasebait, Transams & Barumbah lures made from relatively standard TPE material and ZMan softies made from their "Plastec TPE" all TPE type materials melt and deform traditional plastasol soft plastics and PVC lure boxes so must be stored away from all plastisol soft plastics in a non-PVC based container or their original sealed packaging.

I carry one of the frogs set up on a TT chinlock unweighted #6/0 hook as well as a spare hook tightly secured in the original ZMan bag. That is safely stowed in my non-PVC lure box alon with my Zerek, Chasebait, Transams & Barumbah lures made from relatively standard TPE lutes
