Like alot of plugs you use.The older they get,the better they get.

When the meat starts falling off the bone,can em!!

Skin them and salt them in a jar. I have a jar full in my refer that are at least 9 years old. I think I have a few that are still on rigs for the ditch. Gotta dig them out and get the lead out. I wonder what happened to the lead after soaking in the salt for a year ??

Skip will show ya how to rig a skin plug

Brine them and save them in the freezer. They'll never really freeze solid. I saw some skin lures treated this way recently from the 70's! They were skins brined and stored in the freezer between seasons, sewn to resemble eels.
