Mend-it Soft Bait Glue

Mend-it Soft Bait Glue repairs tears in compatible soft plastic fishing baits while drying clear and flexible. The glass bottle includes a brush applicator for working glue into torn worms, tubes, creature baits and swimbaits. Choose a 1/2 oz or 1 oz bottle.

Features and uses

• Flexible repair: dries soft rather than leaving a rigid patch in the bait.
• Brush applicator: helps place glue on the surfaces you need to join.
• Customization: can join compatible soft plastic parts for tail or color modifications.
• Swimbait eyes: can be used to attach and overcoat eyes on suitable soft baits.

How to make a repair

Check the bait material's compatibility first and follow the bottle directions. Brush Mend-it onto the repair surfaces, press them firmly together and lay the bait flat while it dries. Mend-it's published instructions give approximately 10 minutes of drying time. Check that the repair has set before rigging or casting.

Soft plastic formulas differ. Do not assume a repair glue is suitable for every stretchy or specialty bait material; confirm compatibility with the bait manufacturer or test a spare piece first.

3 Tackle Express Tips

1. Align before applying. Check that the torn sections meet without twisting the body or tail, so the repaired bait can rig straight.
2. Repair several baits between trips. Lay them flat and allow the repairs to set before putting hooks back through them.
3. Inspect the area around the tear. If neighboring plastic is also split or badly damaged, replace the bait rather than relying on one repaired spot.
