yes, but only in the crisper, and if you do not have to remove any beers to fit in all your plastics.

Just kidding........but why do you want to do that?

More easier than.....?

Nothing on the pack to indicate "best stored below 4c..." so I don't think you need to put it in the fridge... in fact... it might stop being "soft" ....

by a plastics wallet, they are made by berkley and gilies and is probably the easyest way to store soft plastics, most tackle shops wil have them and if they dont then dont go back there...

Not such a bad idea, I had four packets of gulps turn to liquid in the sun in the boat in the last two days.

Well at least store them in the shade, the fridge is probably a bit extreme, and too hard to fit in the boat.

I hit the Swan on Boxing Day last year (40+C) and any placcies left on the deck were a molten mess before 10am, not to mention my feet blisterin from touching the carpet.
Would of been good to have a fridge to store placcies AND a foot spa on board

there are a few tackle bags around that have insulated sections designed to keep soft plastics in - the big department stores usually have the berkley ones in stock.

if space on the boat is limited just look around for insulated coolers designed to carry a six pack - they're cheap and are the right size for most soft plastics.
