How do you repair your soft plastic swimbaits?

10-4 Nate......lack of funding always sucks!

Heavy thread or small 4-63 fishing line and a needle.  then some glue. Lighter sowing thread cuts through the plastic if you tighten it too much. Big jig heads tend to split swimbaits.  Melt a hole into the swimbait with a solder iron to help prevent this.

I bought this thing yesterday at FW.

Has anyone used it before?  Is it work?

I just did soldering iron thing & looks pretty good.  Hope it works.

I wanna get as much as the life out from MY PRECIOUS BIG HAMMER !!!

If its just the hook tearing a hole in the swimbait, keeping it from staying on the jig?  Back off the bait from the jig, turn it over and run the hook through the belly.  When that one tears, back it off and run the hook through the side of the swimbait.  Back in the game quicker without the need for extra tools.

If the tail is tearing, thats when I'd break out the lighter.  Or just get a new bait.

Nate! What's up, dude? Long time...

i remember that dude.......he used to fish with us, back in the day. Where You At?!

Broke and job hunting, at the moment. 

Once thats all back on track, it'd be cool to catch up with you foos.

Yeah Nate, this foo too!!!
