Plastic bait glue?
I have been using http://www.prosoftbaitglue.com/index.htmlBut the bottled gelled up on me even though I was very careful in not
contaminating the glue with water, etc.. Three spouts hardened up on me
even though I rigged a pin plug for them. This stuff is expensive. Is there a more manageable glue for holding and repairing Yamamoto type
and other soft plastics? TL |

| I agree...I have tried several different super glues but seems to have the
same problem with the spouts getting hard :( Interesting to see if there
are other alternatives |

| Have you tried the "gel" version of superglue?
Someone told me that works. |

| I've experienced the same problems with the Soft Bait Glue. I found it
to be a fine product but I was pretty frustrated that the bottle
clogged and dried out before it was half-finished. So, with that, I
went to WalMart and picked up some of this stuff: http://www.loctiteproducts.com/products/detail.asp?catid=15&subid=115&plid=195 I found it to work every bit as good and it didn't clog... I'm due for
a third bottle soon. It is a lesser volume then the Pro Soft Bait
stuff but so it only runs about $2 - $3. But, I get to use ALL OF IT. I also like it because it is a gel and it doesn't run all over the place
such as the line guides, boat carpeting and of course my fingers. Tony

| Consider several things. The "activating" ingredient that makes super
glue cure is moisture. As soon as you let any moisture into the tip,
it's going to clog. Tough to use the stuff in the environment we use it,
without moisture entering the equation. Also, the shelf life of the product is about 18 months from date of
manufacturer when packed in plastic containers and almost double that in
lead squeeze tubes. My solution -- My wife buys it at the dollar store. Unusually get 12
tubes for a dollar. Sometimes 24!. At that price, if a tube lasts two
days, I consider it a bonus. |

| Don Iovino sells the Worm-a-nyzer or something like that. Is a battery
powered heating tool, to weld the baits.

| I have that as well but sometimes you need the glue as I use it to help hold
plastic to the front of the hook and stop it from sliding back. |

| I like your idea. I've never had a trouble-free bottle or tube of anything,
and I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay $10 for something to clog up. The worst
I had was the product called "Fishin' Glue", which cost $4 and I had to
throw away after a week or two. |
